“…If the minimum stationary grain size is governed by a balance between dislocation generation and dislocation annihilation and recombination, the minimum grain size is proportional to the square root of the stacking fault energy [111], and analysis of experimental data has shown correlations between grain size and stacking fault energy [112,113]. Data on SPD processed Cu-Al and Cu-Zn alloys also shows increase in solute content drastically reduces grain size [112,113]. Whilst this data has been interpreted in terms of the stacking fault energy [112,113], it is noted that the observed influence of alloying elements is also consistent with our model.…”
