“…In some binary systems, intermetallic phases are formed during HPT deformation. Note that intermetallic compounds are formed during joining of dissimilar materials by the ARB [25] and FSW [26] methods. Annealing of the deformed samples enhances the phase formation [11,13,15 -17,19 -23], and affects the properties of the resulting metal matrix composites [15,17,19 -23].…”
