This book addresses all aspects of the science and technology of ultrafine grained materials produced by Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) techniques. It presents fundamental issues in SPD processing and SPD-processed materials, processing and microstructures, microstructural evolution, mechanical an[...]
The processing and mechanical behaviour of bulk nanostructured materials are one of the most interesting new fields of research on advanced materials systems. Many nanocrystalline materials possess very high strength with still good ductility, and exhibit high values of fatigue resistance and fractu[...]
