The investigation of the backpressure effect during equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) on formation of ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure in pure copper has revealed that the increased hydrostatic pressure can contribute to formation of a more homogeneous microstructure with finer grains. ECAP with backpressure also exerts a favorable effect on strength and ductility characteristics of the UFG material.
