Texture evolution in high-pressure torsion processing

Among the severe plastic deformation processing (SPD) of materials, high-pressure torsion (HPT) is known to induce considerable amounts strain and crucial grain refinement up nanometer scale. There have been several reviews on mechanical properties and/or microstructure correlations SPD-processed materials published during last two decades. By contrast, a review crystallographic texture evolution HPT not at present available. Consequently, this work was undertaken in Face-Centered Cubic (FCC), Body-Centered (BCC) Hexagonal Close-Packed (HCP) crystal structure processed exclusively by with special emphasis influence many intrinsic extrinsic factors such as imposed strain, temperature alloying elements.
