It is suggested that creep of pure aluminium processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) occurs by diffusion-controlled movement of intragranular dislocations and by grain boundary sliding. The contribution of grain boundary sliding is increasingly higher with increasing number of ECAP passes...
