It is now well-established that processing through the application of severe plastic deformation (SPD) leads to a significant reduction in the grain size of a wide range of metallic materials. This paper examines the fabrication of ultrafine-grained materials using high-pressure torsion (HPT) where this process is attractive because it leads to exceptional grain refinement with grain sizes that often lie in the nanometer or submicrometer ranges. Two aspects of HPT are examined. First, processing by HPT is usually confined to samples in the form of very thin disks but recent experiments demonstrate the potential for extending HPT also to bulk samples. Second, since the strains imposed in HPT vary with the distance from the center of the disk, it is important to examine the development of inhomogeneities in disk samples processed by HPT.

The formation of submicrocrystalline structure during severe plastic deformation and its effect on mechanical properties of an S304H austenitic stainless steel with chemical composition of Fe – 0.1C – 0.12N – 0.1Si – 0.95Mn – 18.4Cr – 7.85Ni – 3.2Cu – 0.5Nb – 0.01P – 0.006S (all in mass%) were studied. The severe plastic deformation was carried out by high pressure torsion (HPT) at two different temperatures, i.e., room temperature or 400°C. HPT at room temperature or 400°C led to the formation of a fully austenitic submicrocrystalline structure. The grain size and strength of the steels with ultrafine-grained structures produced by cold or warm HPT were almost the same. The ultimate tensile strengths were 1950 MPa and 1828 MPa after HPT at room temperature and 400°C, respectively.

Processing through the application of severe plastic deformation (SPD) leads to very significant grain refinement with grains that are typically in the submicrometer or even the nanometer range. These ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials provide an opportunity for achieving exceptional flow properties including high strength at ambient temperature and, if the very small grains are reasonably stable, superplastic elongations at high testing temperatures. These flow characteristics are examined for materials processed using the two SPD procedures of equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) and high-pressure torsion (HPT).

The production of ultrafine-grained metals through severe plastic deformation (SPD) has attracted significant interest in the scientific community due to the improvement in mechanical properties. Among SPD methods, high pressure torsion (HPT) processing is most effective in producing exceptionally small grains in disc-shaped samples subjected to high hydrostatic pressures and concurrent torsional straining. The present paper analyzes the elastic distortions and plastic flow during the application of compressive pressure in samples during HPT. Simulations through finite element method reveal a distortion of the initial shape of the sample and a gradient in sample thickness between the center and the edge due to elastic distortions. Also, it is shown that significant plastic deformation takes place in this stage and this is before any torsional deformation is imposed on the sample.

The article represents results of influence of different severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques on TiNi alloys. It is demonstrated that strength and shape memory effect (SME) of TiNi can be significantly enhanced due to formation of ultrafine-grained (UFG) and nanocrystalline (NC) structures by SPD. Influence of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), high pressure torsion (HPT), multi-step SPD deformations (ECAP plus cold rolling) on structure, mechanical and functional properties of TiNi alloys is considered. There are represented first results of influence of equal channel angular pressure-Conform (ECAP-C) on TiNi alloys, which is a perspective technology for industrial fabrication of UFG metals and alloys.

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.
