The continuous ECAP process which can provide three-dimensional strain was developed in this study. A die with tri-axis crossed channels having channel angle φ of 90° and curvature ψ of 0° was created. As a result, continuous ECAP process via route Bc for AC4CH aluminium semi-solid alloy could be performed at 573K at pressing speed of 0.5mm/sec using the developed die. The continuous method cut the processing time in half compared to the non-continuously conventional method. The grains became fine from 100μm to approximately 2μm. Workpiece processed 8 passes exhibited four times higher toughness than as-cast alloy.
