Book Description

These proceedings focus on all aspects of science and technology of bulk ultrafine-grained materials produced by severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques. The potential of SPD techniques in producing clean and fully dense, bulk ultrafine-grained materials for scientific explorations and practical structural applications has made it a rapidly developing area. This book provides an update on advances in the areas of processing microstructures, microstructural evolution, mechanical and physical properties, superplasticity, computational and analytical modeling, and new SPD technologies and advances.
