Producing Bulk Ultrafine-Grained Materials by Severe Plastic Deformation: Ten Years Later
Ruslan Z. Valiev,Ruslan Z. Valiev,Yuri Estrin,Yuri Estrin,Zenji Horita,Terence G. Langdon,Terence G. Langdon,Michael J. Zehetbauer,Yuntian Zhu,Yuntian Zhu +9 more
TL;DR: The use of severe plastic deformation (SPD) has been extensively studied in the last decade as discussed by the authors, leading to the introduction of a range of nanostructural features, including nonequilibrium grain boundaries, deformation twins, dislocation substructures, vacancy agglomerates, and solute segregation and clustering.

Influence of scandium and zirconium on grain stability and superplastic ductilities in ultrafine-grained Al-Mg alloys

TL;DR: Experiments were conducted to evaluate the grain refinement introduced by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) in three different Al-3% Mg alloys containing either 2% Sc, 2% Zr or a combination of 2%Sc and Zr as mentioned in this paper, but superplasticity was not achieved in the Al-Mg-Zr alloy due to the onset of rapid grain growth at 573 K.
