Keywords: equal-channel angular hydroextrusion, direct hydroextrusion, drawing, cop- per, physical and mechanical properties, nanocrystalline structure 1. Introduction As demonstrated by Segal et al. [1], the equal-channel angular extrusion (ECAE) is a promising method for the formation of ultrafine grained (UFG) mi- crostructures in metallic materials. Kulczyk et al. [2] have recently shown by the examples of copper and nickel that the combined ECAE + HE deformation greatly increases the homogeneity of the microstructure and considerably improves their mechanical properties as compared with a single technique (either HE or ECAE). In copper subjected to a combined ECAE + HE treatment at a true strain of 22.3, the ultimate tensile strength was 550 MPa. Физика и техника высоких давлений 2010, том 20, № 1 115 However, the cold processing of lengthy billets by ECAE is difficult because of high operating pressures, potentially resulting in breaking the machine-tool at- tachments, the punch first of all. Usually the ECAE is used for billets having l/d = 4–6, where l – length, d – diameter. A new version of ECAE, called the equal- channel angular hydroextrusion (ECAH), has been proposed by Spuskanyuk et al. [3,4] for the processing of lengthy billets. Under ECAH a billet is extruded by high-pressure fluid through the angular die channel. The relative length of die- billet contact surface is considerably smaller than with ECAE. Therefore, longer billets can be deformed by ECAH at acceptable pressure levels making this method attractive for commercial use. In this paper, the effect of combined technology including the ECAH, HE and D techniques (Fig. 1) for making wire is investigated. Apparently, a longer wire can be produced by using ECAH of longer billets (l/d ≥ 10) as compared to ECAE case. The main purpose of our investigation is to show that the combined technol- ogy including ECAH, HE and D techniques significantly improves wire proper- ties. For the first time, it has been demonstrated by the copper samples that com- bining the ECAH, HE and D techniques provides higher properties of wire as compared to properties obtained without ECAH. It has been also demonstrated that the repetitive HE and ECAH (HE + ECAH + HE + ECAH + HE) results in a higher level of copper wire strength as compared to the result obtained with the single ECAH technique. For the first time, the ECAH of a rod through conical and angular dies is described. Fig. 1. A new combined technology including the HE (1, 3), ECAH (2) and D (4) tech- niques for making wire 2. Materials and investigation procedure Commercial Cu-FRTP (fire refined tough pitch copper) hot-pressed rods of 60 mm diameter were used. The chemical composition of this material is given in Table 1. Impurity analysis of copper was done by the atom-emission method us- ing an optical-emission spectrometer ARL4460 Metals Analyzer. Rods were processed by HE, ECAH and D followed by annealing of copper in some cases.

For the 7-th variant of processing modes the billets were machined after the first ECAH in order to pro- vide the same diameter as that of billets after the second HE.

The rods (l = 10d) were extruded by ECAH through an angular die with 2Φ = 90° using a hydraulic press of 1 MN force. The original ECAH facility is schematically shown in Fig. 2. The main part of a facility was a high-pressure vessel with the operating pres- sure to 1.6 GPa. A conical die and an angular die are located in the lower part of the vessel channel. Conical die channel and input segment of the angular die channel were aligned with the high-pressure vessel channel. The diameters of the conical die calibrating bore and the input segment of the angular die channel were equal. The diameter of output segment of the angular die channel was made slightly larger than that of input segment for a repetitive ECAH without any addi- tional operations of billet thickening before each pass through the conical die. Prior to plastic deformation, the billet surface was coated with a soap-based solu- tion. The initial billet with a small nose machined on one end was fitted into an entry of the conical die to seal the fluid. The high-pressure unit was then filled with the hy- drostatic fluid (engine oil SAE 40) and the plunger was inserted and forced into the Физика и техника высоких давлений 2010, том 20, № 1 117 bore by means of the press. The appropriate fluid pressure initiated extrusion of the billet into the input segment of the angular die chan- nel. Subsequently, when the pressure was in- creased, the fluid forced the billet through the angular die channel and the product emerged from the output channel segment. Multiple ECAH was implemented by the «billet after billet» technology. All the rods were deformed under the room-temperature conditions, the plunger travelled at a rate of 2 mm/s. HE of billets and D of wire were done by well-known methods. For instance, HE and D techniques were described by Blazynski [5]. Microstructure of copper was studied by methods of optical and electron microscopy. Vickers hardness measurements were done using a HV-5 Low V.H. Tester manufactured by L.H. Testing Instruments Co, Ltd. Me- chanical tensile tests for samples and wires were done using machines of 2167 R-50 type manufactured by «Tochpribor» Co and ZM 20 174.21 type manufactured by «Fritz Heck- ert» Co, respectively. Diameter of the work- ing part of a tensile-tested sample was equal to 3 mm, the length of the base was 15 mm; wire diameter was equal to 0.5 mm, the length of the base was 100 mm. Tensile tests were done at the room temperature, the cross-piece travelled at a rate of 10–4 m/s. Electrical resistance of copper wire was measured by the standard four-probe method under the room temperature (293 K) and the liquid nitrogen boiling tem- perature (77.3 K). The resistivity was measured with a relative error under 0.5%. 3. Results and discussion By the combined processing of original billets by HE and ECAH techniques the high-strength rods for wire drawing have been produced. For the rods of 7 mm-diameter (the 8-th variant of processing mode of Table 2) the HV of copper was equal to 1450 МPа (Fig. 3,а), the ultimate tensile strength σ = 546 МPа (Fig. 3,b). For the rods produced without ECAH (the 1-st variant of processing mode of Table 2), the HV of copper was equal to 1320 МPа (Fig. 3,а), the ultimate tensile strength σ = 473 МPа (Fig. 3,b). Figure 4 illustrates the plastic properties of copper in the rods. The highest level of plastic characteristics was achieved for the 2-nd variant of processing modes. Note that after different modes of processing, the difference in plastic characteristic is not so significant as in the strength properties of copper. Fig. 2.

The multiple interchanging of HE and ECAH techniques (Fig. 5.), processing without annealing or using a low temperature of annealing have resulted in a higher level of copper wire strength (Fig. 6).

The multiple interchanging of HE and ECAH techniques in combined technology including the HE, ECAH and D techniques for making wire Физика и техника высоких давлений 2010, том 20, № 1 119 The best result (Fig. 6) was achieved for the 8-th variant of processing mode of Table. 2: the ultimate tensile strength σ = 686 MPa, the elongation to failure δ = = 2%. In the case of the processing mode without ECAH (the 1-st variant) the ul- timate tensile strength σ = 556 MPa, the elongation to failure δ = 1.4%. The high-strength copper wire produced by combining HE, ECAH and D tech- niques preserves the highest strength characteristics to the annealing temperature T ≤ 100°C, and the plasticity increases insignificantly (Fig. 7). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 400 450 500 550 600 650 700 U lti m at e te ns ile st re ng th , M Pa Processing mode 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 Processing mode El on ga tio n, % a b Fig. 6.

Thus, electrical conductivity is low-dependent on processing mode and for high-strength copper wire it is equal to 86.4% IACS. Figure 8 combines the characteristics of strength and electrical conductivity for different copper alloys. On the diagram, the region under the curve illustrates the properties of copper alloys highly strengthened by traditional methods of cold plastic deformation [6]. It is seen that, in the general case, the electrical conduc- tivity of copper alloys drops abruptly with the growth of strength. The properties Fig. 7.

Physical and mechanical properties of copper and copper alloys after cold deformation of commercially pure copper (Cu-FRTP) produced by us using the combination of HE, ECAH and D methods are above the curve. The repetitive application of HE and ECAH methods in technological chain of processing the materials in fractional modes and with the optimal degrees of deformation results in the formation of a unique complex of physical and mechanical properties, such as strength σ = = 686 MPa and electrical conductivity at a level of 86.4% IACS, which is the record for the copper and copper alloys. Such strength is almost 1.5 times as much as that of copper sub- jected to monotonous deformation. Such a processing is efficient due to the alternat- ing schemes of deformation and periodic creation of favorable conditions for relaxa- tion and dynamic recrystallization processes in the material. A high plastic deforma- tion by the simple shear scheme results in saturation of grain refinement and metal hardening. But with further processing of the billets, the method of HE provides a higher degree of material hardening, whereas ECAH – conditions for stress relaxa- tion, healing of microdiscontinuities and smaller exhaustion of plastic resource. 4. Summary For the first time, it has been demonstrated by the example of copper that the combining of ECAH, HE and D techniques provides higher properties of wire as Физика и техника высоких давлений 2010, том 20, № 1 121 compared to properties obtained without ECAH. It has been also demonstrated that the repetitive application of HE and ECAH methods in technological chain of copper processing in fractional modes and with the optimal degrees of deformation results in the formation of a unique complex of physical and mechanical properties. The high ultimate tensile strength σ = 686 MPa, the elongation to failure δ = = 2% and the electrical conductivity at a level of 86.4% IACS have been reached for 0.5 mm-diameter copper (Cu-FRTP) wire. Such complex of strength and elec- trical conductivity is the record for the copper and copper alloys. Such a processing is efficient due to the alternating schemes of deformation and periodic creation of favorable conditions for relaxation and dynamic recrystalliza- tion processes in the material. A high plastic deformation by the simple shear scheme results in saturation of grain refinement and metal hardening. But with fur- ther processing of the billets, the method of HE provides a higher degree of material hardening, whereas ECAH – conditions for stress relaxation, healing of microdis- continuities and smaller exhaustion of plastic resource. 1.

Высокий комплекс прочности и пластичности обработанных медных заготовок получен после многократного чередования методов угловой гидроэкс- трузии (УГЭ) и прямой гидроэкструзии (ГЭ) с реализацией УГЭ и ГЭ в дробном режиме. Комбинированная ИПД-технология, включающая УГЭ, ГЭ и волочение (В), обеспечивает в медной проволоке диаметром 0.5 mm предел прочности σ = 686 MPa, относительное удлинение δ = 2% и электрическую проводимость на уровне 86.4% IACS. Эффект такой обработки обусловлен чередованием схем деформаций и пе- риодическим обеспечением благоприятных условий для протекания в материале процессов релаксации и динамической рекристаллизации. Важным условием дос- тижения максимального эффекта обработки являются дробный режим и оптималь- ные степени деформации обоими методами.
