The control of texture to improve high-cyclic fatigue performance in copper after equal channel angular pressing
High-cyclic fatigue life in ultra-fine grained materials fabricated by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) suffers from a specific shear texture induced during the fabrication as has been demonstrated in the present study on the example of pure copper. This texture promotes orientation of the easy glide crystallographic planes to be aligned parallel to the shear plane in ECAP. If specimens for t
