Commercial pure iron billets having diameter of 60 mm and length of 180 mm were subjected to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at 350 ℃ for 1 to 4 passes via route Bc. Microstructural evolutions on three planes (X, Y, Z planes) were characterized by optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that after four passes an ultrafine microstructure could be formed on the X plane, but a band structure remained on the Z plane. Accordingly, the mechanical properties exhibited apparent dependence on the orientations. The strength in the x and y directions was higher than that in the z direction. The microstructural refinement and mechanical properties were discussed in terms of experimental results.
