In this study, bulk ultrafine-grained and micro-crystalline cobalt was prepared using a combination of high-energy ball milling and subsequent spark plasma sintering. The average grain sizes of the ultrafine-grained and micro-crystalline materials were 200 nm and 1 μm, respectively. Mechanical properties such as the compressive yield strength, the ultimate compressive strength, the maximum compressive deformation and the Vickers hardness were studied and compared with those of a coarse-grained as-cast cobalt reference sample. The bulk ultrafine-grained sample showed an ultra-high compressive yield strength that was greater than 1 GPa, which is discussed with respect to the preparation technique and a structural investigation.

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) with ultrafine grained and high strength can be prepared by mechanical alloying (MA) followed by sintering. Therefore, MA, as a unique solid powder processing method, has many effects on the microstructures and mechanical properties of the sintered bulk HEAs. This work focused on the alloying behavior, morphology, and phase evolution of FeCrNiAl (x = 1.

Significant deformation of the metal structure can be achieved without breaking or cracking the metal. There are several methods for deformation of metal plastics. The most important of these methods are angular channel pressing process, high-pressure torsion, multidirectional forging process, extrusion-cyclic compression process, cumulative climbing connection process, consecutive concreting and smoothing method, high-pressure pipe torsion.

In this paper, the superplastic behavior of the two-phase titanium alloy VT6 with an ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure produced by equal-channel angular pressing is examined. The deformation of specimens with a UFG structure was performed by upsetting in a temperature range of 650-750 °C and strain rate range of 1 × 10-5 × 10 s. Under these conditions, an increased strain-rate sensitivity coefficient m was observed.

The method of radial shear rolling makes it possible to achieve comparable to high pressure torsion (HPT) method ultrahigh degrees of total strain level in combination with the vortex metal flow character for long-length large bulk bars unable by HPT and many other processes of sever plastic deformation (SPD). Sequential rolling of the Zr-1%Nb alloy was carried out under extreme conditions on two radial shear rolling mills with a total diameter reduction ε = 185% and a maximum total strain level = 46 mm/mm. The strain level and its cross-section distribution assessment by finite element method (FEM) simulation was studied.

The paper reports on the features of low-temperature superplasticity of the heat-treatable aluminum Al-Mg-Si alloy in the ultrafine-grained state at temperatures below 0.5 times the melting point as well as on its post-deformation microstructure and tensile strength. We show that the refined microstructure is retained after superplastic deformation in the range of deformation temperatures of 120-180 °C and strain rates of 5 × 10 s-10 s.
