In the present work, a study on the modification of the mechanical properties of the aluminium alloy AA6060 F has been made when severe plastic deformation is applied to it through Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ECAE). Moreover, a study about the effect of the artificial aging on the modification of such mechanical properties has been carried out after having processed the material by ECAE. In order to do this, thermal treatments at different values of temperature and holding time have been performed. Hardness, tensile tests and Charpy impact test, along with metallographic techniques, have been carried out in order to analyse the mechanical behaviour and the state of the material. In spite of the existence of several studies that have analysed the effect of aging thermal treatments on 6000 aluminium alloys, such studies are focused on laboratory alloys with industrial compositions not very usual. Therefore, in the present work, the employed starting material is a commercial alloy as-cast, which has not been studied up to now.
