Mechanical Properties of Metallic Materials Processed by Surface Severe Plastic Deformation

Abstract

This paper gives an overview about some mechanical properties of materials processed by surface severe plastic deformation (SSPD) techniques. SSPD processed materials are classified in terms of characteristics, and main generated parameters that determine the output properties of materials are presented. The influences of SSPD on mechanical properties of materials are then reviewed. Furthermore, the roles played by some parameters such as gradient microstructure, nanostructured layer, compressive residual stress (CRS) and surface integrity are highlighted by discussing their contributions. Finally, some conclusions are drawn and possible prospects for future research are underlined.

Severe Plastic Deformation of Light Metals (Magnesium, Aluminum and Titanium) and Alloys by High-Pressure Torsion: Review of Fundamentals and Mechanical/Functional Properties

“…15,16) For the most recent progress in the field of SPD, the readers are referred to a 2023 special issue of Materials Transactions, 17) which covered various aspects like processing methods, [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] structural/microstructural features, [27][28][29][30][31][32][33] mechanical/functional properties, nanostructured metallic and non-metallic materials [56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68] and heterostructured materials. [69][70][71][72] Among various SPD methods, ECAP and ARB have the potential for commercialization. 3) However, HPT is the most promising method for fundamental studies because it applies to almost any kind of materials including hard-to-deform refractory metals, 73,74) ultrahard high-entropy alloys, 75,76) glasses, 77,78) brittle ceramics and oxides 79,80) and even diamond.…”
