Microstructure evolution, grain refinement mechanism and mechanical properties of face-centered cubic (fcc) metallic materials, subjected to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), were systematically investigated. According to the special shear deformation mode of ECAP, Al single crystals with different orientations and Cu bicrystals with different initial grain boundary directions were subjected to ECAP for one pass, and it is found that shear deformations both parallel and perpendicular to intersection plane play important roles in the ECAP process. Moreover, Al single crystals, Cu single crystals and polycrystalline Cu-3%Si (mass fraction) alloy with different stacking fault energies (SFEs) and special crystallographic orientations, subjected to ECAP for one pass, were selected to experimentally and analytically explore the combined effects of crystallographic orientation, SFE and grain size on deformation twinning behaviors in several fcc crystals. Furthermore, ultrafine grained (UFG) or nanocrystalline (NC) Cu-Al alloys with different Al contents were prepared using multiple-passes ECAP. The results show that the grain refinement mechanism is gradually transformed from dislocation subdivision to twin fragmentation, and the equilibrium grain size decreases with lowering the SFE of Cu-Al alloys. Meanwhile, the homogeneous microstructures of materials with high or low SFE are much more readily gained than those of medium-SFE metals. More significantly, the strength and uniform elongation can be simultaneously improved with lowering the SFE, i.e., the better strength-ductility combination is achieved in the Cu-Al alloy with lower SFE.
