High purity metals with low melting temperatures such as indium (99.999%), tin (99.9%),
lead (99%), zinc (99.99%) and aluminum (99.99%) were processed using high-pressure …

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the evolution of hardness and microstructure in a
commercial aluminum 6061 alloy processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT). The results …

Tests were conducted on an Al-6061 alloy to evaluate the separate effects of the applied
pressure and the torsional straining in processing by high-pressure torsion (HPT). The …

The grain size in pure elements (magnesium, aluminum, silicon, titanium, vanadium,
chromium, iron, nickel, copper, zinc, germanium, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum …

An investigation was conducted to evaluate the microstructural evolution and mechanical
properties of a commercial purity (CP) titanium (grade 2) processed by high-pressure torsion …

A physically based model to predict the increment of hardness and grain refinement of pure
metals due to severe plastic deformation by high-pressure torsion (HPT) is proposed. The …

An investigation was conducted to examine the microstructure and mechanical properties of
an Al-5483 aluminium alloy subjected to a hybrid severe plastic deformation (SPD) process …

We present a severe plastic deformation process called high-pressure-double-torsion
(HPDT) for grain size refinement in metallic polycrystals. Like standard high-pressure …

Experiments were conducted on an Al–3wt.% Mg–0.2 wt.% Sc alloy and pure Cu to evaluate
the effect of high-pressure torsion (HPT). The results show that very substantial grain …

Processing via severe plastic deformation (SPD) has been an attractive research topic in
recent years. The grain size is significantly refined through the SPD and thus superior …
