Through regression analysis on the data of hardness and strength after the deformation, a more generalized expression of equivalent strain for ECAP is proposed as:ε=k0exp[-(k1M-k2)^2], where M is the strength or hardness of the material, k1 is the modified coefficient (k1∈ (0, 1)), ko and k2 are two parameters dependent on the critical strain and mechanical property that reaches saturation state for the material, respectively.
