In this paper we review the latest developments in the use of severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques for enhancement of hydrogen sorption properties of magnesium and magnesium alloys. Main focus will be on two techniques: Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) and Cold Rolling (CR). After a brief description of these two techniques we will discuss their effects on the texture and hydrogen s...

The geometrical structuring of a material to increase both physical and mechanical qualities is known as Severe plastic deformation (SPD). To obtain superior qualities, the co-channel angular (ECAP) approach, which an alternative conventional deformation, applied developed. When compared previous procedures, substan- tially smaller grain size obtained result applying large unit defor- mation pa...

Ultrafine-grained (UFG) metallic materials processed by severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques often exhibit significantly higher strengths than those calculated the well-known Hall-Petch equation. These result from fact that SPD processing not only forms UFG structure but also leads to formation of other nanostructural features, including dislocation substructures, nanotwins and nanosized...

The metallic glasses are known as amorphous and metastable materials. These materials have superior mechanical properties over crystalline with the same chemistry. Continuous efforts were made to improve of glass. severe plastic deformation (SPD) method is used ductility SPD causes at atomic level in disordered structure Many methods reported, such cryogenic cycling, high-pressure torsion, equa...

Austenitic stainless steels offer good property combinations for structural component applications in demanding and aggressive environments, including nuclear power plants, where irradiation assisted degradation failures have been reported [1]. Enhanced irradiation tolerance has been reported for materials containing a high density of internal interfaces that act as point defect annihilation or...

Equal channel angular rolling (ECAR) is a severe  plastic deformation (SPD) technique which has been used to produce metal sheets with ultra-fine grain structure. In the present work, the relationships between the mechanical properties and microstructure of samples during the ECAR process have been investigated. The Rietveld method was applied to analyze the X-ray diffraction pattern and to det...

Equal channel angular rolling (ECAR) process is one of the severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods that have been used to make ultra-fine grain (UFG) materials with improving the mechanical properties of samples. After performing the process at several paths, a large strain is applied to the material that can cause decreasing the grain size and improving the mechanical and physical properties ...

Recent developments in nanostructured products draw considerable attention to ultrafine grained materials. These materials are normally manufactured by different severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods. In the present study, analytical models and finite element method (FEM) are used to calculate strain imposed to a specimen that was deformed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). In additio...

The influence of ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) on the fatigue fracture characteristics of Ti6Al4V was investigated. Two groups of specimens were separated due to different heat treatment conditions. Group one was stress-relief annealed at 650 ◦C, and group two was then treated with solid solution-aging. UNSM with the conditions of a static load of 25 N, vibration amplitude ...

the function of our tissues and organs. Among the biomedical materials, titanium alloys have received attractions for dental and orthopedic implants due to their high strength, great corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, and low density [1,2]. Recently, a series of new β titanium alloys have been developed with low elastic modulus, containing non-toxic alloying elements such as Nb, Ta, Zr ...
