Over these past few years, there have been a large number of technical papers published related to the problem of improving the
mechanical properties of materials obtained through severe plastic deformation. Nevertheless, the number of technical papers
dealing with improvement in the mechanical properties of mechanical components manufactured from submicrometric grain size
material has not been so proficient. Therefore, in this present research work, a straight blade has been manufactured starting from
AA-5083 previously processed by ECAE twice (N2) with route C.This material will be manipulated so as to be isothermally forged
at different temperature values.This present research work shows the results that are inherent in an improvement in themechanical
properties and the microstructure achieved in the thus obtained components, compared with the starting material. In addition, the
optimum forging temperature to achieve these components will be determined. As shown in this research work, it is possible to
obtain submicrometric grain size mechanical components with a higher mechanical strength than those obtained in nonultrafine
grained materials. The originality of this research work lies in the manufacturing of actual mechanical components from ECAE
processed material and the analysis of their properties.
