The DRECE method belongs to the severe plastic deformation (SPD) processes used for the refinement of sheet metalelements. A forming device used in this method is currently being installed in the workplace in the Centre of AdvancedInnovation Technologies, VSB Technical University of Ostrava. In the present work the structural characteristics andfracture morphology of Ck55 carbon steel after the application of the DRECE method with a forming tool angle of 118° arepresented. The microstructure results are linked to selected mechanical properties. The tensile, hardness, and fatigue testsare performed. The methodology of non-destructive residual stresses measurement in the carbon steel after the extrusionand application of tensile tests on small samples are important for their use in technical practice. The paper presents theoriginal results of selected properties after the application of the DRECE method on Ck55 steel, which will be used in thefuture to assess the application of the DRECE method and to determine other directions of the processing of ferrous alloysand steels.
