Abstract:

Increasing material’s strength is of particular importance. Improving material’s mechanical properties such as strength could reduce the size and weight of the structure. The size and weight of the structure are among the effective parameters in design. Since the past a variety of methods have been developed to increase the strength of metals that are capable of increasing metals’ strength to a certain level. But most of these methods while increasing strength are associated with relatively high material formability properties. This is one of the most important limitations of the methods. Plastic deformation method is among the new methods that in addition to increasing the material’s strength will strengthen other desired mechanical properties of the material by micro structuring the crystal lattice of a metal. The mechanical properties of the products of this process are so better than the original metal properties that they are known as super metals. Various methods have been developed to make the materials in tubes NANO structured. Products produced during these processes despite being thinner are less capable to withstand pressure and have higher corrosion and wear resistance compared to the tube manufactured by the conventional methods. Moreover they have the potential to be used at higher temperatures and have longer lifetime. These advantages have increased the importance of plastic deformation methods for the tubs. In this research while a brief discussion on the effect of severe plastic deformation on the material structure the conventional methods for manufacturing the tube are reviewed.

Structure and Mechanical Properties of Nanostructured Metals Prepared by Severe Plastic Deformation

Ultrafine-grained (UFG) nanostructured materials having grain sizes of tens and hundreds of nanometers recently have aroused interest among researchers in the materials science field. With respect to their mechanical properties, one would hope to be able to obtain the extremely strong states that can be expected in the case of strong grain refinement according to the Hall-Petch relationship (Gl...

Severe Plastic Deformation of Metals

This paper provides an introduction in the field of severe plastic deformation (SPD). First of all the main methods to produce SPD materials are discussed. In the following section, the mechanisms leading to the formation of fine grains are reviewed and the influence of changes in strain path is highlighted. During post-SPD thermal annealing, some typical microstructural changes take place. The...

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...

Nano- and Micro-mechanical Properties of Ultrafine-Grained Materials Processed by Severe Plastic Deformation Techniques

The processing of metals through the application of severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques provides the potential for achieving exceptional grain refinement leading to ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials in bulk solids. These materials generally exhibit high strength but very limited ductility at room temperature (RT) leading to the so-called paradox of strength and ductility. The recent dev...
