The paper shows that high thermal stability of the ultrafine-grained structure of aluminum alloy produced by severe plastic deformation is related to S-phase particles. The sequence of phase transformations of zirconium-doped ultrafine-grained alloy Al-Mg-Li in heating is revealed. The paper also determines temperatures at which depending on crystal structure two types of S-phase particles can form.

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.

The effect of elevated temperatures on elastic and microplastic properties of ultrafine-grained titanium prepared by severe plastic deformation is discussed. Three sets of a-titanium VT1-0, Grade-4 and PT3-V which differ each other in polycrystal structure and impurity content were investigated. As experiments show, significant changes in grain sizes, elastic and microplastic properties were observed only for the purest titanium VT1-0. The thermal stability of other sets of titanium (Grade-4 and PT3-V) was found to be better; it is explained by higher impurity content in these materials.

There are several severe plastic deformation processes that transform the material from microsized grains to the nanosized grains under large deformations. The grain size of a macrostructure is generally 300 μm. Following severe plastic deformation it can be reached a grain size of 200 nm and even less up to 50 nm. These structures are called ultrafine grained materials with nanostructured organization of the grains. There are severe plastic deformation processes like equal angular channel, high pressure torsion which lead to a 200 nm grain size, respectively 100 nm grain size. Basically, these processes have a common point namely to act on the original sized material so that an extreme deformation to be produced. The severe plastic deformation processes developed until now are empirically-based and the modeling of them requires more understanding of how the materials deform. The macrostructural material models do not fit the behavior of the nanostructured materials exhibiting simultaneously high strength and ductility. The existent material laws need developments which consider multi-scale analysis. In this context, the present paper presents a laboratory method to obtain ultrafine grains of an aluminum alloy (Al-Mg) that allows the microstructure observations and furthermore the identification of the stress–strain response under loadings. The work is divided into (i) processing of the ultrafine-grained aluminum alloy using a laboratory-scale process named in-plane controlled multidirectional shearing process, (ii) crystallographic analysis of the obtained material structure, (iii) tensile testing of the ultrafine-grained aluminum specimens for obtaining the true stress-strain behavior. Thus, the microscale phenomena are explained with respect to the external loads applied to the aluminum alloy. The proposed multi-scale analysis gives an accurate prediction of the mechanical behavior of the ultrafine-grained materials that can be further applied to finite element modeling of the microforming processes.

Effects of severe plastic deformation by isothermal сryorolling with a strain of e~2 and subsequent natural and artificial aging on the structure and resistance to intergranular corrosion (IGC) of the preliminary quenched 2024 aluminum alloy of standard and Zr modified compositions were investigated. Increasing the temperature of aging leads to decreasing the alloy IGC resistance due to precipitation of more stable strengthening S-phase (Al2CuMg), rising difference of electrochemical potentials at grain and subgrain boundaries. Zr additions, оn the opposite, significantly increased the alloy IGC resistance in both naturally and artificially aged conditions, reducing its depth and intensity. The main structural factor, influencing the alloy corrosion behavior, is excess phases: their composition, volume fraction and distribution.

The paper reports on microstructure, strength and fatigue of ultrafine-grained (UFG) samples of the Al-Cu-Mg-Si aluminum alloy processed by high pressure torsion (HPT) at various temperatures. Application of the HPT treatment led to strong grain refinement, as well as to a raise of the mean-root square strains and dynamic precipitation. In case of optimal HPT treatment the UFG samples have demonstrated the enhanced thermal stability, an increase in ultimate tensile strength in 2.5 times and enhancement in fatigue endurance limit by 20 % in comparison with coarse-grained alloy subjected to standard treatment. It is shown that the regime of the HPT treatment governs the volume fraction of precipitates and segregations, thereby affecting a grain size and thermal stability of ultrafine-grained structure.
