Over the last two decades, many researchers have developed a variety of stainless steel-based medical implant types,taking full advantage of nanostructuring technologies. In this paper the application, fabrication and development of nanostructured stainless steel based materials with new composition for medical implants will be discussed. It is well established that application of severe plasti...

Mechanism of fatigue crack initiation was investigated in ultrafine-grained (UFG) magnesium alloy AZ91 processed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). Fatigue behaviour of UFG material was compared to the behaviour of material in an initial as-cast state. Focused ion beam technique (FIB) was applied to reveal the surface relief and early fatigue cracks. Two substantially different mechanism...

nowadays, equal channel angular pressing, known as the ecap process, is one of the most popular methods for manufacturing ultra-fine grained (ufg) materials. in this paper, ecap process has been carried out on pure copper and 6012 aluminum alloy up to six passes by route . principal attention was paid to the influence of parameters such as diameter, material, and the height of billet on mechani...

A Fe-20.1Mn-1.23Si-1.72Al-0.5C TWIP steel with ultra-fine grain structure was successfully processed through Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) at warm temperature up to four passes following the BC route. The microstructure evolution was characterized by Electron Back Scattered Diffraction (EBSD) to obtain the grain maps, which revealed an obvious reduction of grain size, as well as a decre...

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...

This paper investigates the microstructural evolution and grain refinement kinetics of a solution-treated Cu-0.1Cr-0.06Zr alloy during equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at a temperature of 673 K via route BC. The microstructural change during plastic deformation was accompanied by the formation of the microband and an increase in the misorientations of strain-induced subboundaries. We argue...
