abstract

a review on the microstructural evolution in magnesium alloys during severe plastic deformation waspresented. the challenges deserved to achieve ultrafine/ nanostructured magnesium were discussed.the characteristics of the processed materials are influenced by three main factors, including i)difficult processing at low temperatures, ii) high temperature processing and the occurrence ofdynamic recrystallization and grain growth processes, and iii) a combined effect of grain refinementand crystallographic texture changes. reviewing the published results indicate that there are twopotential difficulties with severe deformation of magnesium alloys. first, it is very hard to achievehomogeneous ultrafined microstructure with initial coarse grains. the second is the dependency ofmicrostructure development on the initial grain size and on the imposed strain level. it was clarifiedthat different grain refining mechanisms may be contributed along the course of multi-pass severedeformation. it was clarified that discontinuous recrystallization takes places during the first stages ofdeformation, whereas continuous refinement of the recrystallized grain may be realized at consecutivepasses. shear band formation as well as twinning were demonstrated to play a significant role in grainrefinement of magnesium alloy. also, the higher the processing temperature employed the morehomogeneous microstructure may be achieved with higher share of low angle grain boundaries.

Zinc based bioalloys processed by severe plastic deformation – A review

Zinc based alloys have recently attracted great attention as promising biodegradable metals. Zinc exhibits moderate degradation rates in biological fluid and the zinc releases during the degradation process is considered safe to human systems. However, these materials exhibit critical limitations in terms of mechanical properties for medical applications. Adding alloying elements as well as gra...

Strengthening of Metals through Severe Plastic Deformation

The processing of bulk metals through the application of severe plastic deformation (SPD) provides an opportunity for achieving excellent grain refinement to the submicrometer or even the nanometer range. These SPD procedures produce materials exhibiting improved mechanical properties including very high strength. This report describes recent results demonstrating the strengthening of conventio...

Bulk Nanocomposites Produced by Thermally Activated Severe Plastic Deformation

In this paper, several versions of extrusion processes were used to provide severe plastic deformation for grain refinement (with a modified ECAE extrusion) and for grain/fiber alignment (with straight extrusion). The process was performed at elevated temperatures to reduce extrusion pressure, and in order to increase strength and avoid grain growth secondary phases were added or insitu formed....

MICROSTRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF THE ULTRAFINE-GRAINED COPPER TUBE PRODUCED BY SEVERE PLASTIC DEFORMATION

In this paper, cyclic flaring and sinking (CFS) as a new severe plastic deformation (SPD) method was employed to produce the ultrafine grain (UFG) copper tubes. The extra friction has eliminated in the CFS method that provided the possibility for production of longer UFG tubes compared to the other SPD methods. This process was done periodically to apply more strain and consequently finer grain...

EBSD characterization of nano/ultrafine structured Al/Brass composite produced by severe plastic deformation

In the present work, nano/ultrafine structured Al/Brass composite was produced by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) up to eight cycles. The evolution of grain refinement and deformation texture and their effect on the mechanical properties were investigated. It was observed that by increasing the ARB cycles, due to the difference in flow properties of the metal constituents, brass layers necked, ...
