High-pressure torsion (HPT) refers to the processing of metals whereby samples are
subjected to a compressive force and concurrent torsional straining. Although the …

Mg and its alloys have continued to attract interest for several structural and super-sensitive
applications because of their light weight and good combination of engineering properties …

In this review, we focus on the saturation microstructure that evolves during severe plastic
deformation (SPD). These nanocrystalline or ultrafine-grained microstructures consist …

On this seventy-fifth anniversary of the first scientific report of true superplastic flow, it is

In order to reduce oil consumption and avoid fossil fuel-related environmental problems,
scientists are always looking for lightweight structural materials that show high performance …

Advanced structural materials are expected to display significantly improved mechanical
properties and this may be achieved, at least in part, by refining the grain size to the …

Strengthening by grain refinement via the Hall–Petch mechanism and softening by
nanograin formation via the inverse Hall–Petch mechanism have been the subject of …

High-pressure torsion (HPT) is an attractive processing method in severe plastic deformation
techniques involving the application of high compressive pressure with concurrent torsional …

Recent studies show significant advances in improving the mechanical properties of
