The Ni60Nb15Ti15Zr10 glassy alloy was developed as a separator material for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). The corrosion rate of the glassy alloy in sulfuric acid was approximately 3 digits lower than SUS316L. A precise groove forming of the glassy alloy can be achieved by hot-pressing in the supercooled liquid state. The result of the power generation test of the single cell ass...

In this research the constrained groove pressing (CGP) process as a severe plastic deformation (SPD) method was applied on commercially pure aluminum plates. According to the principle of CGP, a material is subjected to repetitive shear deformation by utilizing asymmetrically grooved dies and flat dies which are constrained by a channel. Each complete groove pressing pass consists of four press...

Abstract Constrained groove pressing (CGP) is one of the severe plastic deformation techniques for sheet metals to impose large strain and produce ultrafine-grained (UFG) structures without any change in dimensions. Cross route-constrained (Cross-CGP), an advanced version conventional CGP process, involves two cycles with equivalent 2.32 per cycle where square sample rotated by 90° after perfor...

The urge to move in response to music, combined with the positive affect associated with the coupling of sensory and motor processes while engaging with music (referred to as sensorimotor coupling) in a seemingly effortless way, is commonly described as the feeling of being in the groove. Here, we systematically explore this compelling phenomenon in a population of young adults. We utilize mult...

One of the most common methods for production of ultra fine grained materials is severe plastic deformation (SPD). In this study, constrained groove pressing (CGP) and high pressure torsion (HPT) processes as effective methods of severe plastic deformation for the strain imposed on the pure copper were used. This paper presents the results of an experimental research, to review the influence of...
