Hydrostatic cyclic extrusion–compression as a novel severe plastic deformation method in the processing of the rods is introduced and used for refining ultrafine-grained commercial pure aluminum. HCEC is solving the limitation of the conventional CEC in producing long-length samples by utilizing pressurized hydraulic fluid and eliminating the frictional effects. An increase in the length of the processable sample, a reduction in the processing loads, an intensification in the hydrostatic stress, and improvement in the strain distribution are the novel achievements of the HCEC. The capability of HCEC in grain refinement of the commercial pure aluminum was investigated by transmission electron microscopy analysis. The processed samples showed the grain sizes of 780 nm and 400 nm after the first and second passes of the HCEC, respectively. Furthermore, tensile and shear punch tests were utilized for investigation of the mechanical properties of the unprocessed and HCEC processed rods. An increase in the tensile and shear yield and ultimate strengths after the process confirmed the decreases in grain sizes. The tensile yield and ultimate strengths of the rod after the second cycle of the process reached 170 and 196 MPa, respectively. The same increasing trend as strength was shown in the microhardness after the HCEC. FEM analysis depicted the homogenous distribution of strain along the length of the sample. Also, the independency of the processing force to the length of the sample was shown by the FEM. The implementation of this novel technique looks very interesting for the industrial utilization of SPD techniques, especially in automotive and aerospace industries, which suffer from the limited size of the processing specimens.
