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 ...

We developed a multiscale approach to explore the effective thermal conductivity of polycrystalline graphene sheets. By performing equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulations, the grain size effect on the thermal conductivity of ultra-fine grained polycrystalline graphene sheets is investigated. Our results reveal that the ultra-fine grained graphene structures have thermal conductivity on...

A solid-phase diffusion welding of coarse-grained and ultrafine-grained (UFG) specimens titanium near-α alloy Ti-5Al-2V used in nuclear power engineering was made by Spark Plasma Sintering. The failure the welded conditions hot salt corrosion electrochemical shown to have a preferentially intercrystalline character. In case presence macrodefects, crevice joints observed. resistance alloys again...

Parallel Tubular Channel Angular Pressing (PTCAP) process is a novel recently developed severe plastic deformation (SPD) method for producing ultrafine grained (UFG) and nanograined (NG) tubular specimens with excellent mechanical and physical properties. This process has several advantageous compared to its TCAP counterparts. In this paper, a fine grained AZ91 tube was fabricated via multi pas...

An ultrafine grained dual phase (UFG DP) steel containing niobium was produced by a new route utilizing simple cold-rolling and subsequent intercritical annealing of ferrite/martensite duplex starting structures. The effects of intercritical holding time on the microstructural evolutions and mechanical properties were studied. The results showed that increasing intercritical holding time enhnac...

in this paper, an ultra low carbon high strength low alloy grade steel was subjected to a two-step forging processand this was followed by different post cooling methods. the highest strength was obtained at a faster coolingrate due to the highly dislocated acicular ferrite structure with the fine precipitation of microalloying carbides andcarbonitrides. at a slow cooling rate, the strength fel...
