Popis: The effect of plastic deformation upon the grain structure and mechanical properties of Al-Cu-Mg-Mn alloy tubes under upsetting was investigated. It was found that plastic deformation techniques such as cold upsetting can overcome the disadvantages of the cutting process, such as the anisotropy of the original material, no grain structure, and not high mechanical properties, while also improving the mechanical properties of the product in local plastic deformation zones by changing the grain and fiber structure of the material. This article presents the results of our research and evaluates the increase of material durability in the tubes’ deformation zones compared with the initial state. In this study Al-Cu-Mg-Mn alloy material had been cutting with turn machine and plastic deformation by upsetting. Microstructures and hardness variations of cut surfaces that are obtained with different processes have been investigated.
