Abstract: A coarse-grained binary Cu-0.2wt%Zr alloy was processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) in order to evaluate the effect of severe plastic deformation on the thermal stability of resulting ultrafine-grained microstructure after ECAP and on creep behaviour of the pressed alloy. Constant stress creep tests in tension were conducted at temperature 673 K and at the different applied stresses. It was found that the Cu-0.2Zr alloy after the first four ECAP passes exhibited higher creep resistance by comparison with unpressed state. However, the alloy processed by 8 ECAP passes showed faster creep rate than unpressed material under the same loading conditions. The measured value of stress exponent of the creep rate n~6 indicates possibility of an intragranular deformation mechanism as the rate-controlling process in creep of an alloy after 8 ECAP passes. Furthermore, creep behaviour of ECAPed material may be influenced by mesoscopic boundary sliding along shear bands.
