The Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ECAE) technique has been applied to a P/M source Be alloy. Single and two-pass extrusions have been successfully completed, using two different processing routes, on Ni-canned billets of Be at 400 C. No cracking was observed in the billet and significant grain refinement was achieved. In this paper, microstructural features and dislocation structures are discussed for the single-pass material, including evidence of <c> and <c+a> dislocations. Significant crystallographic texture developed during ECAE, which will be discussed in terms of this unique deformation processing technique and the underlying physical processes which sustained the deformation.
