Abstract Bulk nanostructured (ns)/ultrafine-grained (UFG) metallic materials possess very
high strength, making them attractive for high strength, lightweight and energy efficient …

During the last decade, equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) has emerged as a widely-
known procedure for the fabrication of ultrafine-grained metals and alloys. This review …

Processes of severe plastic deformation (SPD) are defined as metal forming processes in
which a very large plastic strain is imposed on a bulk process in order to make an ultra-fine …

Developing magnesium alloys with both high corrosion resistance and superior mechanical
properties is a long-standing challenge for the lightweight metal community. Herein …

This book details aluminum alloys with special focus on the aluminum silicon (Al‐Si)
systems–that are the most abundant alloys second only to steel. The authors include a …

In this work, two wrought Mg-3.66 Al-4.25 Ca-0.43 Mn (wt%) alloys with different morphology
and distribution of Mg 2 Ca particles were fabricated by hot extrusion and multi-pass (32) …

An Al–7% Si alloy was severely deformed by equal channel angular pressing to study the
refinement of the microstructure and associated changes of mechanical properties. The …

Ultra-fine-grained (UFG) ZE41A aeronautic magnesium alloy was achieved through multi-
pass equal-channel angular pressing (EACP) at 603K and subsequently tested in tension …

Bulk nanocrystalline pure Cu samples with embedded nanoscale twin bundles were
prepared by means of dynamic plastic deformation (DPD) at cryogenic temperature. By …

Refinement of microstructure for metallic materials alloyed by low-soluble elements has
always been a difficult task. Here we propose a novel two-step route to achieve this goal …
