Among the severe plastic deformation processing (SPD) of materials, high-pressure torsion
(HPT) is known to induce considerable amounts of plastic strain and crucial grain refinement …

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) has established itself as a potent means of producing bulk
ultrafine grained and nanostructured materials. It has given rise to burgeoning research that …

The focus of this article is texture development in metals of fcc, bcc, and hcp crystal structure
processed by a severe plastic deformation (SPD) technique called equal-channel angular …

The accelerating rate at which new materials are appearing, and transforming the
engineering world, only serves to emphasize the vast potential for novel material structure …

We present a detailed description of the numerical implementation, within the widely used
viscoplastic self-consistent (VPSC) code, of a rigorous second-order (SO) homogenization …

The texture formation in one pass of equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) is investigated
in comparison with that after simple shear deformation. The orientation of the die's …

Grain refinement of metallic materials to sub-micron or nano-scale by severe plastic
deformation (SPD) has been well-recognized by the community of materials scientists. The …

Equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) has been demonstrated to induce unusual
deformation textures and resulting properties in magnesium alloys, such as the remarkably …

In the current study, a homogenous ultra-fine grained microstructure with average grain size
of 1.0 µm is achieved in the Mg–Zn–Ca–Mn alloy through the reduplicative equal channel …

Crystal plasticity models evolve a polycrystalline yield surface using meso-scale
descriptions of deformation mechanisms. The activation of deformation mechanisms is …
