Commercialised mechanically alloyed yttria dispersion strengthened alloys exhibit unusual recrystallisation behaviour. In spite of their large stored energy content, they tend to recrystallise at temperatures close to melting. The recrystallised microstructure is often very coarse and highly anisotropic, characterised by columnar grains. Such a microstructure is often referred to as being “dire...

Naizabekov, Mining and Metallurgy Faculty, Rudny Industrial Institute, Rudny, Kazakhstan In the present research, equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) was conducted. The defectness degree of the alloy for one pass and maximum strain was determined. Ultra fine grained...

Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, 90089-0241, USA *[email protected] Abstract: Al–Mg alloy powder was mechanically milled in liquid N2 (cryomilling) to produce thermally stable powder with nanocrystalline (NC) microstructure for the manufacture of highstrength alloys. A multi-scale microstructure w...

Microstructure evolutions and mechanical properties of a commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti, grade 2) during multi-pass rotary-die equal-channel angular pressing (RD-ECAP) and cold rolling (CR) were systematically investigated in this work, to achieve comprehensive property for faster industrial applications. The obtained results showed that the grain size of CP-Ti decreased from 80 μm of as-rec...

The cross-rolling is a new process that results in significant evolutions in microstructure of the metallic sheets. In this study, an aluminium 1050 sheet was rolled up to 95% reduction in cross directions for ten passes. The rolled samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The rolled samples possess a high dislocation density and ultra-fin...
