Abstract: This study investigates the thermal stability of fine-grained structures achieved through different severe plastic deformation (SPD) and heat treatment paths. Bulk fine-grained Al-0.1Sc-0.1Zr (wt%) alloy was produced via equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) using routes Bc or C, with aging before or after the ECAP. Electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses demonstrate excellent thermal stability of all four specimens. They maintain mean grain sizes below 5 μm after a 10 h thermal test at 450 °C, attributed to the presence of nano Al3(Sc,Zr) precipitates within the microstructures. Route Bc in the ECAP method forms more stable high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) than route C. Whether aging occurs before or after the ECAP, similar microstructural changes are observed after thermal testing, allowing fine-tuning of the microstructure depending on the application or subsequent processes.
