Influence of severe plastic deformation at cryogenic temperature on grain refinement and softening of pure metals: Investigation using high-pressure torsion

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of impurities on grain size, hardness-strain behavior and self-annealing was also studied after cryogenic-HPT, which led to extra softening and/or formation of coarser grains.

Structural impact on the Hall–Petch relationship in an Al–5Mg alloy processed by high-pressure torsion

TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of microstructure and microhardness was studied in a commercial 5483 Al-5Mg alloy processed by high pressure torsion (HPT) under a pressure of 6.0 GPa up to 10 turns.

The Effects of Severe Plastic Deformation and/or Thermal Treatment on the Mechanical Properties of Biodegradable Mg-Alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, five MgZnCa alloys with low alloy content and high biocorrosion resistance were investigated during thermomechanical processing, and the effect of vacancy hardening was substantiated by combined quantitative evaluations from differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray line profile analysis.

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.

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...
