Nanomaterials by SPD OverviewNanostructured materials produced by severe plastic deformation (SPD) are 100% dense, contamination-free, and suffi ciently large for use in real commercial structural applications. These materials are found to have high strength, good ductility, superior superplasticity, a low friction coeffi cient, high wear resistance, enhanced highcycle fatigue life, and good corrosion resistance. This article reviews the structures and properties of nanostructured materials produced by SPD and reports recent progress in determining the deformation mechanisms that lead to these superior mechanical properties.
