The grain size, and therefore the grain boundary density, is known to play a major role in the
flow stress of metallic materials. A linear relationship to the inverse of the square root of the …

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is effective in producing bulk ultrafine-grained and
nanostructured materials with large densities of lattice defects. This field, also known as …

Ultrafine-grained and heterostructured materials are currently of high interest due to their
superior mechanical and functional properties. Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is one of …

Research in the field of high-entropy alloys has been surging since the 2010s. As widely
