Severe Plastic Deformation of Light Metals (Magnesium, Aluminum and Titanium) and Alloys by High-Pressure Torsion: Review of Fundamentals and Mechanical/Functional Properties
Kaveh Edalati
Abstract:Light metals and alloys based on magnesium, aluminum, and titanium are of significance in daily life and industrial applications due to their low density and superior mechanical and functional properties. The formation of nanostructures and ultrafine grains can further improve the properties of these materials. High-pressure torsion (HPT), as a severe plastic deformation (SPD) method, is one of the most effective processes for nanostructuring these materials. Various modifications of HPT such as conventional H… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
