Most ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials produced by severe plastic deformation (SPD) exibit only limited ductility which is correlated with the low strain rate sensitivity (SRS) of these materials. Recently, it was demonstrated that SPD is capable of increasing the room temperature ductility of aluminum-based alloys attaining elongations up to 150%, together with relatively high strain rate sensitivity. In the present work, additional results and discussions are presented on the effect of grain boundary sliding (GBS) and SRS on the ductility of some UFG metals and alloys. The characteristics of constitutive equations describing the steady-state deformation process are quantitatively analyzed for a better understanding of the effects of grain boundaries and strain rate sensitivity.

The mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained metals processed by equal channel angular pressing is investigated by nanoindentations in comparison with measurements on nanocrystalline nickel with a grain size between 20 and 400 nm produced by pulsed electrodeposition. Besides hardness and Young’s modulus measurements, the nanoindentation method allows also controlled experiments on the strain rate sensitivity, which are discussed in detail in this paper. Nanoindentation measurements can be performed at indentation strain rates between 10-3 s-1 and 0.1 s-1. Nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained fcc metals as Al and Ni show a significant strain rate sensitivity at room temperature in comparison with conventional grain sized materials. In ultrafine-grained bcc Fe the strain rate sensitivity does not change significantly after severe plastic deformation. Inelastic effects are found during repeated unloading-loading experiments in nanoindentations.
