During elevated-temperature thermomechanical processing, the occurrence of
recrystallization during straining is known as dynamic recrystallization (DRX), which usually …

Three factors govern adiabatic shear localization: strain hardening (or softening), strain-rate
hardening, and thermal softening. It is typically associated with large shear strains (> 1), high …

Grain refinement is a widely sought-after feature of many metal production processes and
frequently involves a process of recrystallization. Some processing methods use very high …

The dynamic recrystallization (DRX) process and grain structure evolution during friction stir
welding determine the final microstructure and performance of weld joints. In this study …

The evolution of the new microstructures produced by two types of dynamic recrystallization
is reviewed, including those brought about by severe plastic deformation (SPD). The …

The dynamic recrystallization (DRX) phenomena occurring in different thermo-mechanical
processing (TMP) conditions for various metallic materials are reviewed. Several types of …

Current understanding of the principles underlying the thermomechanical processing (TMP)
of α/β titanium alloys is reviewed. Attention is focused on the formulation of constitutive …

Rheological properties of the upper mantle of the Earth play an important role in the
dynamics of the lithosphere and asthenosphere. However, such fundamental issues as the …

Using optical and TEM microscopy we have determined that three regimes of dislocation
creep occur in experimentally deformed quartz aggregates, depending on the relative rates …

The present overview gives a new approach toward developments and recent achievements
in severe plastic deformation. The review focuses on several subjects. First, an outline of …
