Strength of nano-twinned gradient nano-grained copper: Molecular dynamic simulation

Geeta Kumari
TL;DR: In this article , molecular dynamics simulations are performed to reveal the underlying deformation mechanisms of gradient nano-grained materials with different-sized twins, and the results indicate that the critical twin boundary spacing where the strength begins to soften decreases and the maximum strength of the material increases with the declining of the gradient.

Room-Temperature Strengthening, Portevin-Le Chatelier Effect, High-Temperature Tensile Deformation Behavior, and Constitutive Modeling in a Lightweight Mg-Gd-Al-Zn Alloy

TL;DR: In this article , a lightweight novel Mg-1.85Gd-0.64Al 0.62Zn alloy was fabricated by innovative multidirectional forging and a hot-rolling technique, and microstructures and mechanical properties were studied at room and elevated temperatures with an optical microscope, an X-ray diffractometer, and a tensile tester.

Finite element analysis of material deformation behaviour during DRECE: the sheet metal SPD process

TL;DR: In this article , the material deformation behavior during the innovative SPD process called DRECE (Dual Rolls Equal Channel Extrusion) has been analyzed by FEM simulations, where two various channel angles (108° and 113°) were taken into consideration, as well as two processing routes, A and C (without and with turning the strip upside-down between consecutive passes, respectively).

The Flow Behavior of Ultrafine-Grained Materials

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the flow properties of ultrafine-grained materials using two severe plastic deformation (SPD) procedures of equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) and high-pressure torsion (HPT).

Principles of equal-channel angular pressing as a processing tool for grain refinement

TL;DR: In this article, a review examines recent developments related to the use of ECAP for grain refinement including modifying conventional ECAP to increase the process efficiency and techniques for up-scaling the procedure and for the processing of hard-to-deform materials.

Using high-pressure torsion for metal processing: Fundamentals and applications

TL;DR: High pressure torsion (HPT) is a well-known technique for metal forming as discussed by the authors, where samples are subjected to a compressive force and concurrent torsional straining.

Diffusional Viscosity of a Polycrystalline Solid

TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested that mosaic boundaries and boundaries between grains of nearly the same orientation may not serve as sources or sinks of the diffusion currents, in which case the creep rate will depend only on the configuration of grain boundaries having a sizable orientation differen...
