Ultrafine-grained and heterostructured materials are currently of high interest due to their
superior mechanical and functional properties. Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is one of …

The novel process known as ultrasonic-assisted laser shock peening (ULSP) is conducted
on hot rolled Ti6Al4V titanium alloy with polished surface to improve its cavitation erosion …

The emerging applications of metal additive manufacturing (AM) in various industries calls
upon the post-processing treatment to homogenize the microstructure which also improves …

Stainless steel, widely used for its excellent mechanical properties, suffers from low surface
hardness that reduces its corrosion resistance. Herein, a straightforward ultrasonic shot …

The surface plastic deformation induced by shot-peening on the oxidation behavior for
GH3535 alloy was investigated. The variation in microstructure and mechanical property of …

In the present study, the impact of microstructure and texture evolution on the wear and
mechanical behavior of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) of Al 2014 was examined …

This study investigates the influence of ultrasonic-assisted abrasive peening (UAP) on the
microstructural evolution and corrosion characteristics of Al-6061 alloy. A 3 min peened …

Microstructural analysis and electrochemical measurements were performed in a SLM 316 L
steel that was submitted to SSP. In comparison to the wrought steel, the greatly smaller grain …

Direct metal deposition (DMD) holds significant promise for repairing damaged components
located in underwater environments. However, the uncontrolled microstructure, tensile …

In this study, an as-annealed CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy (HEA) was successfully gas
tungsten arc-welded (GTA-welded) to 316 stainless steel, resulting in a fully penetrated joint …
