Generation and healing of porosity in high purity copper by high-pressure torsion

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a systematic study of the mechanisms of generation and healing of pores in ultrahigh-purity copper (99.9995) during high-pressure torsion (HPT).

Strain softening mechanism at meso scale during micro-compression in an ultrafine-grained pure copper

TL;DR: In this article, the Kernel average misorientation (KAM) distribution measured by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was applied to qualitatively evaluate dislocation density in the interior of the grains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developing superplasticity in ultrafine-grained metals

TL;DR: In this article, the results for superplasticity reported to date using metallic alloys processed by equal-channel angular pressing and high-pressure torsion, compared the experimental strain rates with those predicted using the theoretical model for conventional super-plastic flow and then demonstrates the feasibility of preparing deformation mechanism maps that provide comprehensive information on the flow mechanisms.

Effect of Grain Shape on Texture Formation during Severe Plastic Deformation of Pure Copper

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of electron backscattered diffraction and polycrystal plasticity modeling was used to study the effect of grain shape on texture development in high pressure torsion and high pressure double torsions in high purity Cu.

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...
