... nce of metal forming researches to produce ultrafine-grained materials. Twist Extrusion (TE) is one of the most unprecedented methods developed in recent years, but remained in laboratory scales. The main reason for this matter refers to some deficiencies like microstructure heterogeneity occurring after TE. However, employing conventional forming techniques could make TE industrial and, moreover, reduce the bulk structure grain size. Using a conventional forming process such as rolling after twist extrusion has been suggested by this paper. T.E process of Al 8112 samples was carried out using a twisted die with 60º die angle and the samples were processed through rolling subsequently. The results demonstrated that implementation of rolling not only reduced heterogeneity but also decreased the grain size and, consequently, enhanced the bulk strength.
