The Friction-Assisted Lateral Extrusion (FALEP) is an SPD process which can apply extremely large shear strain to a bulk in a single step, to obtain ultra-fine-grained sheet metal. In the present work, the samples of bulk aluminum alloy were processed at room temperature by FALEP with different p/c ratios where the p is the entry - and c is the exit size of the deformed sample. Before the FALEP tests, a recrystallization heat treatment with a long holding time was applied to the samples to coarsen the grain structure to a large degree. The deformed samples were characterised by EBSD measurements and the effect of p/c ratio on the texture and grain refinement was investigated. EBSD results show texture gradient from top to bottom of the samples. Because of the excellent grain refinement capacity, FALEP is able to strengthen the material extremely applying only one single step of process.
