Nonequilibrium evolution thermodynamic of poly- and two-components alloys affected by severe plastic deformation

The nonequilibrium evolutionary thermodynamics approach is generalized to the case of alloys prone to structural martensitic and diffusion phase transitions in them. A system of kinetic equations is written out to describe the evolution of the density of structural defects, grain boundaries, dislocations and point defects, as well as for the order parameter in the processing of these alloys by the severe plastic deformation way. The approach is illustrated by the numerical experiments results on a specific example of two-component copper-based alloys. Kinetic curves of the evolution of the grain boundaries, dislocations and atoms dissolved in a copper matrix are obtained, qualitative phase diagrams are constructed.
