Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) is a promising method for the processing of metals with an ultrafine-grain (UFG) structure of a few hundred nanometers in size. In this paper, the influence of solution treatment and artificial aging conditions, combined with a severe plastic deformation process on the AlMg3 aluminum alloy, was studied. Samples were processed up to six passes with the application of processing route Bc, in which the sample after each separate pass is rotated clockwise by 90 degrees. Optical microscopy and electron backscattered diffraction were used to investigate the microstructure evolution at particular stages of the investigation. To estimate the effect of the process parameters on the change of the strength of the alloy, tensile properties and hardness measurements were determined.
