The technique known as Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) has gained prominence as a transformational method for improving the mechanical characteristics of metals and alloys by subjecting them to intense plastic deformation. This study explores the significant difficulties that arise when using Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) on Aluminium 2024-Beryl Metal Matrix Composites (2024-BMMCs), providing a detailed analysis of the complex interaction between the reinforcement particles and the aluminium matrix. This work aims to provide a thorough examination of the challenges, root causes, and possible approaches to address the issue of producing consistent deformation in 2024-BMMCs using ECAP. By doing so, this research contributes to a better understanding of the intricate nature of this process.
