Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to design a tool and propose a procedure for verification of development of structure at equal channel angular pressing. The goal is to obtain after extrusion the semi-products of AlCuMg alloys a fine-grain structure which one hand increases strength properties and plasticity, and on the other hand is possible to use it at selected cases for subsequent deformations under conditions of "super-plastic state". Design/methodology/approach: The experiments were aimed the verification of functionality of the proposed equipment, determination of deformation resistance, deformability and change of structure at extrusion of the alloy AlCu4Mg2. Deformation forces were measured at extrusion. The average grain size in cross direction was determined by quantitative metallographic methods. TEM analysis of the structure of AlCu4Mg2 were also made. Findings: The structural analysis of AlCu4Mg2 alloy made by TEM has demonstrated a perfect suitability of the ECAP die design. The process results in a very fine grain structure (100-200 nm) throughout the sample overall volume, at which the starting average grain size was 150 µm. Practical implications: Aluminium alloys of super fine granularity structure are basic intermediate products realised by ECAP technologies. The state of super fine granularity facilitates forming of material in the so-called 'superplastic state'. The achievement of the desired structure depends primarily on the tool geometry, number of passages through the die, magnitude and speed of deformation, process temperature, and lubrication mode. Originality/value: It has been demonstrated that the extrusion technology is suitable for attaining of grain nano-structure in the material investigated in order to determine the number of extrusion cycles needed and the appropriate canal angle with corresponding internal and external bend radii. The obtained results make for success of further investigative efforts in the area.
