Accumulative Roll-Bonding (ARB) is one of the more recently developed techniques capable of producing bulk ultra-fine grained (ufg) metals. There are still many aspects of the behavior of ufg metals that lacks an in-depth understanding, such as a generalized view of the factors that govern the cyclic deformation mechanism(s). This study aims to advance the understanding of the cyclic deformatio...

Coating plays a significant role in surface engineering, which leads to the improvement of the mechanical and metallurgical properties of products. It also brings about economic benefits thanks to the cost savings of the improved properties of the surface of a product in particular. Friction surfacing is a relatively new way to create a homogeneous, fine-grained coating with amended resistance ...

High specific strength of the material is critical for many structural applications in automotive and aerospace design. Among many other approaches for strengthening the materials, development of superfine and nano grained microstructure is becoming popular. Different techniques for producing ultra-fine-grained (UFG) materials have been introduced especially in the last decade. The advantages o...

A deeper understanding of the mechanical behavior of ultra-fine (UF) and nanocrystalline (NC) grained metals is necessary with the growing interest in using UF and NC grained metals for structural applications. The cyclic deformation response and behavior of UF and NC grained metals is one aspect that has been gaining momentum as a major research topic for the past ten years. Severe Plastic Def...

Abstract: nanocrystalline nickel samples with the grain size of ~25 nm were prepared via direct current electrodeposition andaluminized for different durations by pack cementation method at 500 means of SEM, EDS and XRD techniques. According to results, short time aluminizing resulted in the formation of asingle aluminide layer whereas at long duration two distinct aluminide layers were formed....

Low-temperature friction-stir welding (FSW) was successfully applied for the joining of Al-Mg-Mn alloy with an ultrafine-grained microstructure. The low-temperature conditions preserved fine-grained microstructure and nano-scale second-phase particles in stir zone thus provided nearly-100% joint efficiency produced welds. deformation behavior welded joints studied via digital image correlation ...
