The influence of number of passes through the device on change of mechanical properties, such as tensile strength TS and yield stress YS, of tested steel was tested. The developed method is based on equal channel extrusion with dual rolls and uses a repeated plastic forming to refinement of structure and improve mechanical properties of metal bands [1-2]. For the tested steel the increase of strength properties after the DRECE process was confirmed after the first pass in relation to the initial material. The biggest strain hardening is observed after the fourth pass.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Influence of the Drece Process of Severe Plastic Deformation on the Mechanical Properties of the Ultra-Low Carbon Interstitial Free Steel}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/109189/PDF/AMM-2018-4-70-Kowalczyk.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2018.125148}, keywords={sheet metal, high strength steel, interstitial free steel, SPD process}, }
