Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is effective in producing bulk ultrafine-grained and
nanostructured materials with large densities of lattice defects. This field, also known as …

To date, more than fifty articles have been published on the feasibility studies of zinc and its
alloys as biodegradable metals. These preliminary in vitro and in vivo studies showed …

Superplastic deformation of polycrystalline materials is usually accommodated by diffusion-
assisted grain boundary (GB) sliding at high temperatures. Lowering the temperature …

Abstract Zn-0.34 Mn and Zn-0.76 Mn alloys transit from extremely brittle in as-cast status to
extraordinarily ductile with elongations ranging from 88.8% to 94.0% at room temperature …

Abstract Fine-grained Mg-Xat.% Bi dilute binary alloys having different concentrations of
bismuth element were produced by conventional extrusion process. The ductility decreased …

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 processing of bulk metals through the application of severe plastic deformation (SPD)
provides the potential for achieving exceptional grain refinement leading to ultrafine‐grained …

Advanced structural materials are expected to display significantly improved mechanical
properties and this may be achieved, at least in part, by refining the grain size to the …

We study the effects of dilute Mg addition on the microstructure formation and mechanical
properties of a ZnAl4Cu1 alloy. On the basis of the composition of the commercial alloy Z410 …

Homogenization treatment and equal channel angular pressing was applied to Mg–Y–Nd–
Zr alloy cast ingot. Uniform grains with a grain size of~ 1.5 μm and spherical secondary …
