Microstructure and mechanical properties of 7005 aluminum alloy processed by one-pass equal channel reciprocating extrusion

TL;DR: In this paper, an equal channel reciprocating extrusion (ECRE) was proposed to obtain a severe plastic deformation (SPD) of 7005 alloy, which led to a mixed microstructure.

Microstructural Evolution during Severe Plastic Deformation by Gradation Extrusion

TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructural evolution of an age-hardenable AA6082 aluminum alloy during severe plastic deformation by gradation extrusion was studied and a novel die design allowing an interruption of processing and non-destructive billet removal was developed.

Using dilatometry to study martensitic stabilization and recrystallization kinetics in a severely deformed NiTi alloy

TL;DR: In this article, a martensitic NiTi alloy was separately processed by equal-channel angular pressing, repetitive corrugation and straightening by rolling and cold rolling, and the kinetics of the recrystallization process were analyzed according to the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov theory.

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...
