TL;DR: In this paper, the deformation behavior of a stir cast and hot extruded 14-vol% SiCp/2014Al composite was studied at temperatures from 355 to 495°C and strain rates from 0.001 to 1 s−1, including microstructure evolution and damage formation.

TL;DR: In this article, the hot deformation behavior and workability of squeeze-cast 20-vol%SiCw/6061Al composites were investigated by isothermal compression test and development of processing map, which was verified by uniaxial upsetting and two-directional forging of big cylindrical billets.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of coarse T1 phase (Al2CuLi) produced by homogenization on the hot deformation behavior of Al-Li alloy was studied using uniaxial compression.

TL;DR: The hot deformation behaviors of the bimodal carbon nanotube reinforced 2009Al (CNT/2009Al) composite were studied by establishing processing map and characterizing the microstructure evolution as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, nano-sized NiTi particles contributed to the grain refinement of α-Al and grain refinement shortened the solute atomic diffusion distance and refined θ′ phase during heat treatment, resulting in higher strength and plasticity at high temperature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the compressive deformation behavior of an extruded 14 vol% SiCp/2014Al composite fabricated by stir casting was investigated at temperatures of 355 −495 ǫ°C and strain rates of 0.001 −1 s−1.
