Coarse-grained (CG) and ultrafine-grained (UFG) pure aluminum samples fabricated by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) were cyclically deformed at 77K under constant plastic strain amplitude. Monotonic tensile tests were performed at 300 and 77K soon after the fatigue tests. In spite of the increase in the tensile strength of fatigued CG Al, tensile ductility decreased remarkably in comparison to that of as-annealed CG Al. On the other hand, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and tensile ductility of UFG Al were much higher at 77K than those at 300K. Furthermore, UFG Al at 77K maintained high UTS and high tensile ductility even after fatigue tests. Microstructural observation has revealed that dislocation wall structure formed in fatigued CG Al persists after the monotonic tensile tests. However, dislocation wall structure formed in fatigued UFG Al disappeared during early stages of monotonic tensile tests at both 300 and 77K. These results indicate that the dislocation wall structure in UFG Al is unstable against succeeding monotonic tensile deformation. [doi:10.2320/matertrans.M2012280]
