Shear localization is one of the most important failure mechanisms subjected to high-strain-rate deformation and has significant effects on process, plastic deformation, catastrophic a material. was observed in serrated chips produced during high-speed cutting CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy. Electron backscatter diffraction performed systematically investigate microstructural evolution shear ban...

severe plastic deformation (spd) methods were developed for producing of metals and alloys with ultrafine grained (ufg) microstructures having high strength. parallel tabular channel angular pressing (ptcap) as a noble severe plastic deformation (spd) method was used to produce ultrafine grained (ufg) and nanostructured cu-30%zn tubes. in this paper, the effect of ptcap process temperature on t...

Nanostructured (NS) and ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials have high strength and relatively low ductility. Their toughness has not been comprehensively investigated. Here we report the Charpy impact behavior and the corresponding microstructural evolutions in UFG Cu with equi-axed and elongated grains which were prepared by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) for 2 and 16 passes at room tempe...

In this article, commercially pure copper samples were severely deformed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) up to eight passes at room temperature. The effects of severe plastic deformation on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and electrical conductivity of the copper were investigated. The microstructure evolution was followed by optical microscope and field emission scanning el...

Magnesium alloys are highly desirable for a wide range of lightweight structural components. However, rolling Mg alloys can be difficult due to their poor plasticity, and the strong texture yielded from rolling often results in poor plate forming ability, which limits their further engineering applications. Here we report a new hard-plate rolling (HPR) route which achieves a large reduction dur...

Abnormal grain growth can occur in polycrystalline materials with only a fraction of grains growing drastically to consume other grains. Here we report abnormal ultrafine grained metal rarely explored high-cycle loading regime at ambient temperature. is observed electroplated Ni microbeams average initial sizes less than 640 nm under large number cycles (up 109) low strain amplitudes (< 0.3%). ...

Magnesium alloy is a class of lightweight structural materials with promise for many applications. Here, the authors report significant grain refinement, high deformation twin density and obvious nanograined structures in magnesium through novel strain rate plastic method—dynamic extrusion. By using finite element simulation transmission electron microscopy (TEM), find that stain during affects...

Recent studies have shown that strength values similar to those observed in nanocrystalline metals can be obtained without a severe deterioration in ductility. This is achieved by introducing controlled, nanoscale, growth twins within ultrafine-grained metals. In this work, we present a continuum description of the effective response of nanotwinned ultrafine crystals. The model is based on a fi...
