Superplastic behavior and microstructure evolution of a fine-grained Mg–Y–Nd alloy processed by submerged friction stir processing

TL;DR: In this paper, a fine-grained Mg-Y-Nd alloy with an average grain size of 1.3μm and small second phases of 280nm was prepared by submerged friction stir processing (SFSP).
Journal ArticleDOI

Grain refinement in an AlEr alloy during accumulative continuous extrusion forming

TL;DR: In this article, the formation of ultra-fine grains results from a type of continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) that is induced by large strains, which leads to an increase in the average orientation angle.

Powder injection molding of biocompatible stainless steel biodevices

TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review on powder selection, manufacturing techniques, debinding processes, and sintering conditions of 316L stainless steel powders is presented, focusing on the influence of powder shape, powder size, powder-to-binder ratios and their effects on densification in terms of corrosion and mechanical properties.

The Deformation and Ageing of Mild Steel: III Discussion of Results

E O Hall
TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt is made to explain the observed phenomena in the yielding and ageing of mild steel, described in two previous papers, in the general terms of a grain-boundary theory.

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...
