This work presents a study related to the grain refinement of an aluminum A2618 alloy achieved by High-Pressure Torsion (HPT) known as a process of Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD). The HPT is conducted on disks of the alloy under an applied pressure of 6 GPa for 1 and 5 turns with a rotation speed of 1 rpm at room temperature. The HPT processing leads to microstructural refinement with an average grain size of ~250 nm at a saturation level after 5 turns. Gradual increases in hardness are observed from the beginning of straining up to a saturation level. This study thus suggests that hardening due to grain refinement is attained by the HPT processing of the A2618 alloy at room temperature.

AbstractPolycrystalline calcite was deformed to high strain at room-temperature and confining pressures of 1–4 GPa using high-pressure torsion. The high confining pressure suppresses brittle failure and allows for shear strains >100. The post-deformation microstructures show inter- and intragranular cataclastic deformation and a high density of mechanical e$$ \left\{01\overline{1}8\right\} $$011¯8 twins and deformation lamellae in highly strained porphyroclasts. The morphologies of the twins resemble twin morphologies that are typically associated with substantially higher deformation temperatures. Porphyroclasts oriented unfavorably for twinning frequently exhibit two types of deformation lamellae with characteristic crystallographic orientation relationships associated with calcite twins. The misorientation of the first deformation lamella type with respect to the host corresponds to the combination of one r$$ \left\{10\overline{1}4\right\} $$101¯4 twin operation and one specific f$$ \left\{01\overline{1}2\right\} $$011¯2 or e$$ \left\{01\overline{1}8\right\} $$011¯8 twin operation. Boundary sections of this lamella type often split into two separated segments, where one segment corresponds to an incoherent r$$ \left\{10\overline{1}4\right\} $$101¯4 twin boundary and the other to an f$$ \left\{01\overline{1}2\right\} $$011¯2 or e$$ \left\{01\overline{1}8\right\} $$011¯8 twin boundary. The misorientation of the second type of deformation lamellae corresponds to the combination of specific r$$ \left\{10\overline{1}4\right\} $$101¯4 and f$$ \left\{01\overline{1}2\right\} $$011¯2 twin operations. The boundary segments of this lamella type may also split into the constituent twin boundaries. Our results show that brittle failure can effectively be suppressed during room-temperature deformation of calcite to high strains if confining pressures in the GPa range are applied. At these conditions, the combination of successive twin operations produces hitherto unknown deformation lamellae.

XRD, TEM, microhardness and thermal analysis were carried out on a series of Ni samples produced by high-pressure torsion (HPT). The evolution of microstructures and their inhomogeneity were investigated. The local microstrain showed dynamical oscillations as a function of the HPT rotations, demonstrating dynamical evolution of lattice defects during the procedure. Both XRD and TEM showed that a small difference in grain sizes remains even after 5 revolutions of HPT with smaller grain sizes at the peripheral region of the sample. The higher microhardness at the peripheral region is the result of the smaller grain sizes and the higher density of lattice defects, compared with the central region. Thermal treatment at a heating rate of 20K/min from room temperature to 473K did not result in decreased microhardness, but increased by about 10% for samples treated with not more than 3 rotations of HPT. The increase in microhardness was attributed to further grain refinement, the formation of a larger fraction of high-angle grain boundaries and grain boundaries being closer to equilibrium after recovery.

High-Pressure Torsion (HPT) is widely used to refine the structure of metallic materials through the use of severe plastic deformation. This technique is used in this report to process different magnesium alloys using various processing conditions. The high hydrostatic pressure allows processing of these materials at room temperature without cracking. The structure was characterized and hardness distribution was determined at different areas of the processed samples. The results show significant structure refinement and increased hardness. The evolution of the structure and hardness depends on the alloying and HPT processing conditions.

An Al 7075 alloy (5.63mass%Zn-2.56mass%Mg-1.68mass%Cu-0.21mass%Fe-0.19mass%Cr-0.14mass%Si-0.02mass%Ti with balance of Al) was processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) under an applied pressure of 6 GPa for 1, 3 and 5 revolutions with a rotation speed of 1 rpm at room temperature. Vickers microhardness saturated to a level of 220 Hv after the HPT processing and the grain size was refined to 120 nm at the state of the hardness saturation. Tensile tests were conducted with initial strain rates from 2.0 × 10-4 to 2.0 × 10-2 s-1 at temperatures as 200 °C and 250 °C (equivalent to 0.52Tm and 0.57Tm, respectively, where Tm is the melting point of the alloy). The HPT-processed samples for 3 revolutions exhibited superplastic elongations of 640% and 510% at 250 °C with initial strain rates of 2.0 × 10-3 s-1 and 2.0 × 10-2 s-1, respectively.

X-ray investigations revealed that the increase in the applied pressure during high pressure torsion (HPT) of commercially pure Ti leads not only to substructure refinement with an increase of the dislocation density and microstrain level but also to an α→ ω phase transition at room temperature. The coexistence of both α and ω phases, the latter known as a high pressure phase, in the ratio approximately of 1:3 has been obtained after removal of thehigh pressure. Texture analysis of electodeposited Ni after HPT discovered a new form of crystallite orientation distribution in the nanocrystalline state. A nearly random orientation crystallite distribution has been observed unlike the “traditional” case of a shear texture forming in cubic symmetry metals. The crystallographic texture data obtained were considered as experimental evidence of the changed plastic deformation mechanisms in nanocrystalline Ni produced by HPT.

Abstract A new efficient method was used to find that in the case of high-pressure torsion of commercially pure titanium, accumulation of shear strain in Ti does not occur due to slippage of anvils. Despite this, micro-hardness increases as the number of turns n increases, and Ti structure is refined more intensively. High-pressure torsion is accompanied by a high-pressure ω-phase formation. However, the content of ω-phase changes non-monotonously with an increase in the number of turns. First, while number of turns is less than n=5, the ω-phase content reaches 50%. Upon further deformation, the ω-phase content decreases to 15% for n=20. A new accumulative high-pressure torsion method is applied to commercially pure titanium for the first time. Accumulative high-pressure torsion leads to the strongest transformation of the structure and an increase in hardness, since stronger real deformation occurs due to composition of compression and torsion strain cycles.
