[ 1 ] - Ten years of severe plastic deformation (SPD) in Iran, part I: equal channel angular pressing (ECAP)

The superior properties of ultrafine-grained materials fabricated by severe plastic deformation (SPD) have attracted the attention of many researchers around the world.  Among the top-ranked countries that are active in this field, Iran is interesting because of the late beginnings of SPD in this country and, subsequently, the highest rate of growth in the number of publications during the last...

[ 2 ] - Effect of the Particle Size on the Deformation and Fracture Behavior of Al/4vol.%Al2O3 Composite Produced by Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB)

In this study, Al/Al2O3 composites with two different particle sizes of 1 µm and 0.3 µm were produced via accumulative roll bonding (ARB). The microstructure evolution, mechanical properties and fracture behavior of the composites were investigated. Results show that higher ARB cycles are required to achieve a uniform distribution of particles in the composite with 0.3 µm particle size. During ...

[ 3 ] - Fabrication of the Cu-Zn multilayer and Cu-Zn alloy by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) with an emphasis on the wear behavior

Accumulative roll bonding (ARB) was used to fabricate the Cu-Zn multilayer and Cu-Zn solid solution. A lamellar structure with the hardness of about 130 VHN was formed after eight ARB cycles. Following to the suitable heat treatment, a solid solution with a uniform microstructure and hardness of about 57 VHN was produced. The dominant wear mechanism in the ARB processed multilayer was found to ...

[ 4 ] - Formation of a solid solution through accumulative roll bonding (ARB) and post-heat treatment of multilayered Cu/Zn/Al

In the present study, the capability of accumulative roll bonding (ARB) and subsequent heat-treatment to fabricate solid solution from a multilayered Cu/Zn/Al was investigated. Two post-heat treatment (one-step and two-step) routes were proposed. In the first, the ARB processed material was heated to 800 C for 5:30 hours and allowed to cool slowly in a furnace (one-step route). In the second (t...

[ 5 ] - A Comparative Corrosion Study of Al/Al2O3-SiC Hybrid Composite Fabricated by Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB)

In this study, the Al/Al2O3-SiC hybrid composite was produced by accumulative roll bonding (ARB). In the first and the second cycles, the particles were uniformly poured between the Al strips during each ARB cycle. In the subsequent cycles, ARB was repeated up to six cycles without adding the particles between the layers. After the total eight cycles, the particles were distributed uniformly wi...

[ 6 ] - Ten years of severe plastic deformation (SPD) in Iran, part II: accumulative roll bonding (ARB)

The present paper is the second part of a previously published overview entitled “ten years of severe plastic deformation (SPD) in Iran”. Part I concentrates on the equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). In this part, the focus is on the accumulative roll bonding (ARB) because, currently, Iran is ranked the first in the world by the total number of publications in this field. In the present sec...

[ 7 ] - EBSD characterization of nano/ultrafine structured Al/Brass composite produced by severe plastic deformation

In the present work, nano/ultrafine structured Al/Brass composite was produced by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) up to eight cycles. The evolution of grain refinement and deformation texture and their effect on the mechanical properties were investigated. It was observed that by increasing the ARB cycles, due to the difference in flow properties of the metal constituents, brass layers necked, ...
