TLDR
In this article, the authors provide a critical overview of the properties of bulk nanoSPD materials, with a focus on the fundamentals for the observed extraordinary properties, including the unique nanostructures that lead to the superior properties, the underlying deformation mechanisms, critical issues that remain to be investigated, future research directions, and the application potential of such materials.
Abstract
Bulk nanoSPD materials are materials with nanostructural features, such as nanograins, nanoclusters, or nanotwins, produced by severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques. Such nanostructured materials are fully dense and contamination free and in many cases they have superior mechanical and functional properties. Here, we provide a critical overview of such materials, with a focus on the fundamentals for the observed extraordinary properties. We discuss the unique nanostructures that lead to the superior properties, the underlying deformation mechanisms, the critical issues that remain to be investigated, future research directions, and the application potential of such materials.

Review on superior strength and enhanced ductility of metallic nanomaterials

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of experimental data and theoretical concepts addressing the unique combination of superior strength and enhanced ductility of metallic nanomaterials, and consider the basic approaches and methods for simultaneously optimizing their strength and ductility, employing principal deformation mechanisms, crystallographic texture, chemical composition as well as second-phase nano-precipitates, carbon nanotubes and graphene.

Producing Bulk Ultrafine-Grained Materials by Severe Plastic Deformation: Ten Years Later

TL;DR: The use of severe plastic deformation (SPD) has been extensively studied in the last decade as discussed by the authors, leading to the introduction of a range of nanostructural features, including nonequilibrium grain boundaries, deformation twins, dislocation substructures, vacancy agglomerates, and solute segregation and clustering.

Combining gradient structure and TRIP effect to produce austenite stainless steel with high strength and ductility

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine the benefits from both gradient structure and transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) for 304 stainless steel, and the resulting TRIP-gradient steel takes advantage of both mechanisms, allowing strain hardening to last to a larger plastic strain.

Ultrahigh strength and high electrical conductivity in copper

TL;DR: Pure copper samples with a high density of nanoscale growth twins are synthesized and show a tensile strength about 10 times higher than that of conventional coarse-grained copper, while retaining an electrical conductivity comparable to that of pure copper.

High tensile ductility in a nanostructured metal.

TL;DR: A thermomechanical treatment of Cu is described that results in a bimodal grain size distribution, with micrometre-sized grains embedded inside a matrix of nanocrystalline and ultrafine (<300 nm) grains, which impart high strength, as expected from an extrapolation of the Hall–Petch relationship.
