  ABSTRACT: In the present study, 3D-finite element method was conducted to investigate the deformation characteristics of Al7075 alloy during integrated extrusion-equal channel angular pressing. Effective strain, strain rate, mean stress, and damage distributions were evaluated. Severe cracking was observed at Al7075 sample after extrusion-equal channel angular pressing. Finite element results show that cracking is due to the positive mean stress and damage accumulation at the top surface of sample.
