Effects of temperature, strain rate and specimen size on the deformation behaviors at micro/meso-scale in ultrafine-grained pure Al

TL;DR: In this paper, an ultrafine-grained (UFG) high purity (99.999%) aluminum with the average grain size of ~ 1.0μm was processed using equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) through 8 passes.

Tensile and fracture toughness behaviour of ultrafine grained Mg-4Zn-4Gd alloy processed through hot rolling followed by hot pressing

TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid severe plastic deformation (HSPD) was performed at 450°C to produce ultrafine-grains (UFG) in Mg-4Zn-4Gd, which was compared with conventional 75% hot rolled, solutionized and as-cast (AC) specimens to study the mechanical and microstructural evolution.

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...
