Commercial Al-brass tube was successfully processed by Parallel Tubular Channel Angular Pressing (PTCAP) in 2 passes under an imposed strain of 1.49 per pass. The effect of the number of PTCAP passes on the microstructure and the mechanical properties (hardness, tensile, and wear mass loss) of the Al-brass tubes was fully investigated. The average grain size of the as-received tube decreased to 1.28 μm after up to two passes of PTCAP with a mixture of ultrafine grain (UFG) and coarse grain (CG). The annealed tubes’ tensile strength and Vickers hardness increased by 237.65% and 175.6%, respectively, after two passes. In addition, a ductile fracture occurred with a clear necking. The fracture surface morphology indicated an apparent decrease in dimple size after PTCAP processing, combined with a decrease in ductility. Moreover, the wear mass loss decreased with increasing number of PTCAP passes due to the decrease in the grain size, and the increase of the hardness of the tubes was enhanced after PTCAP processing.
