Magnetic Shape Memory Nanocomposites Assembled with High Speed High Pressure Torsion.

When a severe plastic deformation (SPD) process is performed at high temperatures, it becomes more versatile. Designed originally for the bulk nanoconstruction of hard-to-deform alloys, high-speed high-pressure torsion (HSHPT) is an SPD method used in this research for assembling multiple layers of shape memory nanocomposites. Three hard-to-deform magnetic alloys in the cast state were used.

Modeling of Severe Plastic Deformation by HSHPT of As-Cast Ti-Nb-Zr-Ta-Fe-O Gum Alloy for Orthopedic Implant.

The High Speed High Pressure Torsion (HSHPT) is the severe plastic deformation method (SPD) designed for the grain refinement of hard-to-deform alloys, and it is able to produce large, rotationally complex shells. In this paper, the new bulk nanostructured Ti-Nb-Zr-Ta-Fe-O Gum metal was investigated using HSHPT. The biomaterial in the as-cast state was simultaneously compressed up to 1 GPa and torsion was applied with friction at a temperature that rose as a pulse in less than 15 s.

The Effect of the In-Situ Heat Treatment on the Martensitic Transformation and Specific Properties of the Fe-Mn-Si-Cr Shape Memory Alloys Processed by HSHPT Severe Plastic Deformation.

This work focuses on the temperature evolution of the martensitic phase ε (hexagonal close packed) induced by the severe plastic deformation via High Speed High Pressure Torsion method in FeMnSiCr (at %) alloy. The iron rich alloy crystalline structure, magnetic and transport properties were investigated on samples subjected to room temperature High Speed High Pressure Torsion incorporating 1.86 degree of deformation and also hot-compression.

The Influence of Severe Plastic Deformation on Microstructure and In Vitro Biocompatibility of the New Ti-Nb-Zr-Ta-Fe-O Alloy Composition.

In this work, severe plastic deformation (SPD) of the newly designed Ti-Nb-Zr-Ta-Fe-O GUM metal was successfully conducted at room temperature using high speed high pressure torsion (HSHPT) followed by cold rolling (CR) to exploit the suitability of the processed alloy for bone staples.

Structural Change in Ni-Fe-Ga Magnetic Shape Memory Alloys after Severe Plastic Deformation.

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is widely considered to be the most efficient process in obtaining ultrafine-grained bulk materials. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of the SPD process on Ni-Fe-Ga ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMA). High-speed high-pressure torsion (HSHPT) was applied in the as-cast state.
