Abstract


The processing of polycrystalline metals through the application of severe plastic deformation is attracting much attention because of the potential for achieving significant grain refinement to the submicrometer or nanometer level. This paper reviews the principles of this type of processing with emphasis on two different techniques: Equal- Channel Angular Pressing and High-Pressure Torsion. Exceptional properties may be achieved from these processes including high strength at ambient temperatures and a rapid superplastic forming capability at elevated temperatures. Some examples are presented demonstrating the potential use of this type of processing.
