The current study conducted a finite element (FE) and experimental investigation on tubular channel angular pressing as a noble severe plastic deformation technique for producing ultrafine grained and nanostructure tubular components. To examine the effects of the TCAP process on the strain distribution and deformation behavior, FE simulations were employed. The FE results demonstrated that equ...

Ultrafine tungsten carbide-nickel (WC-Ni) cemented carbides with varied fractions of silicon carbide (SiC) nanowhisker (0-3.75 wt.%) were fabricated by spark plasma sintering at 1350°C under a uniaxial pressure of 50 MPa with the assistance of vanadium carbide (VC) and tantalum carbide (TaC) as WC grain growth inhibitors. The effects of SiC nanowhisker on the microstructure and mechanical prope...

in this study, the effects of nitrogen addition on the production of ultrafine/nano grained aisi 201l stainlesssteel by advanced thermo-mechanical process were investigated. cast samples were first homogenized at 1200 °c for 4 h, hot-rolled at 1100 °c and finally, solution-annealed at 1150 °c for 2.5 h. unidirectional and cross multipass cold rolling at 25 °c was carried out to 90% reduction in...

A series of tensile testing was carried out on the ultrafine grained 5083 Al alloy, which was fabricated by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) with different ECAP strains, at low temperature superplastic (LTS) temperature of 548K. This investigation was aimed at examining the effect of the ECAP strain inducing different microstructure in the alloy on the deformation mechanisms at LTS regime....

We present a comprehensive computational analysis of the deformation of ultrafine crystalline pure Cu with nanoscale growth twins. This physically motivated model benefits from our experimental studies of the effects of the density of coherent nanotwins on the plastic deformation characteristics of Cu, and from post-deformation transmission electron microscopy investigations of dislocation stru...

Phase-pure, ultrafine nanocrystalline anatase with high specific surface area (up to 250 m(2) g(-1)) was obtained upon injection of a titanium alkoxide precursor into ethanol with designed volume of water under mild solvothermal conditions (<200 degrees C, 2 h). Primary particle sizes were tuned by adjusting various reaction parameters, with the smallest grain sizes occurring at low temperature...

Blending ultrafine-grained microstructure with other added reinforcement elements that can provide good strength-microstructural integrity is the primary metallurgical target for any developed composite to exhibit its maximum strength at reduced cost and energy in aerospace application. Such nano-reinforced aluminium alloy composites are processed through addition of nano alumina using powder m...

Inconel 718 was successfully processed by multi-pass high-pressure sliding (MP-HPS) for production of ultrafine-grained structures in rods with upsized dimensions. An (UFG) structure an average grain size ~ 140 nm developed through rotation 45°. Tensile testing at 1073 K initial strain rate 2x10-2 s−1 led to superplastic elongations more than 400%. A relation is established between hardness and...
