Abstract Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) is a unique approach to processing the bulk
material into ultrafine grain (UFG) structured material which possesses high ductility and …

In this study, an age-hardenable 2219 Al–Cu alloy was severely deformed by
multidirectional forging (MDF) at 360–510° C, followed by solution treatment and T8 aging …

Microstructural characteristics and enhanced mechanical properties of 2024 aluminum alloy
associated with shot-peening treatment were investigated by optical microscope (OM) …

Metal casting has become increasingly significant in the manufacture of industrial
components. Aluminium alloys have become a typical metal casting material due to their …

An equal channel reciprocating extrusion (ECRE) was proposed first to obtain a severe
plastic deformation (SPD) of 7005 alloy. The microstructure and mechanical properties of …

The 7A85 aluminum alloy was forged in multiple directions at 470° C via four-upsetting and
three-cross-stretching (4U3CS), four-upsetting and three-octagon-stretching (4U3OS), and …

Microstructure, mechanical properties and wear behavior of severely deformed Al-7075
alloy by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) were studied. Microhardness, tensile and …

Dynamic precipitation and recrystallization behaviors in Al-12.5 wt% Si-0.6 wt% Mg-0.1 wt%
Ti alloy during hot-rolling and their impacts on mechanical properties were investigated by …
