Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is atechnique used to impose strain in material which helps toincrease the mechanical properties of a material. It is generallyused to refine grain size of the material by passing samplethrough equal channel. In this study, analysis on frictional effectin equal channel angular pressing using aluminum 1100 hasbeen done by using FEM software DEFORM-3D version10.1. Dies with different channel angle were designed with thehelp CATIA. This study shows the effect of friction with differentdie channel angle. It has been found that with the increase infriction, reduction in corner gap is found (dead zone), which maycause material damage and improve strain distributionhomogeneity. The result obtained with FEM simulation arecompared to those obtained theoretically, thus it is found that thecurrent study is in good agreement to the theoretically result
