Evolution of structure of high-purity and commercially pure copper at severe plastic deformation (SPD) by high pressure torsion (HPT) at room temperature and in liquid nitrogen has been studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and measurements of microhardness. Thermal stability of structure obtained by HPT has been investigated. Factors preventing from obtaining nanocrystalline structure in Cu are analyzed and possible ways of their overcoming are discussed.

Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) has been shown to be a promising method for producing biocomposites from wood particles. However, severe plastic deformation during ECAP would cause considerable cracking when consolidation is carried out without a binder. In this study, the processing conditions were investigated for ECAP of hardwood particles into bulk biocomposites without any additives. Crack formation and wood cell deformation were examined in conjunction with thermal stability and crystallinity of the biocomposites. In comparison with hot pressing without severe shearing, a decrease in crystallinity and severe deformation of wood cells occurred during ECAP. Improved processability and homogeneous deformation would occur at high ECAP temperature (e.g., 210 °C) or low ECAP speed (e.g., 10 mm/min), leading to reduced crack formation in the ECAP-produced biocomposites. Despite its tendency to cause periodic cracking, effective plastic deformation in the regions between cracks was shown to improve interparticle binding. Ongoing research points to the potential achievement of crack-free hardwood (HW) consolidated without a binder, leading to significantly enhanced strength.
