Microstructural refinement and properties of metals processed by severe plastic deformation
K. J. KURZYDLOWSKI
 
This paper presents the results obtained from the structural re.nement of selected metals and alloys produced by severe plasticdeformation processes. Large levels of deformations were produced using four methods, which di.ered in the character and dynamics of the loading, as well as in the intensity and homogeneity oft he plastic strain .eld. Qualitative and quantitative studies of the re.ned microstructure were carried out using stereological and computer image analytical methods. Microhardness and selected mechanical properties, such as strength and yield point, were also determined.
 
Keywords:
severe plastic deformation, nanometals, multi-scale structure
