During the last decade severe plastic deformation (SPD) has become a widely known method of materials processing used for fabrication of ultrafine-grained materials with attractive properties. Nowadays SPD processing is rapidly developing and is on the verge of a transition from lab-scale research to commercial production. This paper focuses on several new trends in the development of SPD techniques for effective grain refinement, including those for commercial alloys and presents new SPD processing routes to produce bulk nanocrystalline materials.

An aged Al-5Zn-1.6Mg alloy with fine η' precipitates was grain refined to ~100 nm grain size by severe plastic deformation (SPD). Microstructure evolution during SPD and mechanical behaviour after SPD of the alloy were characterized by electron microscopy and tensile, compression as well as nanoindentation tests. The influence of η' precipitates on microstructure and mechanical properties of ultrafine grained Al-Zn-Mg alloy is discussed with respect to their effect on dislocation configurations and deformation mechanisms during processing of the alloy.

The technique of severe plastic deformation (SPD) enables one to produce metals and alloys with an ultrafine grain size of about 100 nm and less. As the mechanical properties of such ultrafine grained materials are governed by the plastic deformation during the SPD process, the understanding of the stress and strain development in a workpiece is very important for optimizing the SPD process design and for microstructural control. The objectives of this work is to present a constitutive model based on the dislocation density and dislocation cell evolution for large plastic strains as applied to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). This paper briefly introduces the constitutive model and presents the results obtained with this model for ECAP by the finite element method.

The texture of Al – 0.7 wt. % Li alloy processed by two different methods of severe plastic deformation (SPD) has been investigated by X-ray diffraction, and analyzed in terms of the orientation distribution function (ODF). It was found that severe plastic deformation by both Equal Channel Angular extrusion (ECAE) and Hydrostatic Extrusion (HE) resulted in an ultrafine grained structure in an Al – 0.7 wt. % Li alloy. The microstructure, grain shape and size, of materials produced by SPD strongly depend on the technological parameters and methods applied. The texture of the investigated alloy differed because of the different modes of deformation. In the initial state the alloy exhibited a very strong texture consisting of {111} fibre component. A similar fibrous texture characteristic was also found after HE whereas after the ECAE the initial texture was completely changed.

A study was carried out on aging behaviour of a 6082 alloy processed by two different severe plastic deformation techniques: ECAP and asymmetric rolling. Both techniques were able to generate an ultrafine-grained structure in samples processed at room temperature. It was stated that severe straining promotes marked changes in the postdeformation aging kinetics. The peaks of β′′/β′ transition phases were anticipated and of progressively reduced intensity over the coarse grained alloy. A further peak accounting for onset of recrystallization also appeared in the most severely deformed samples. Full consistency in peak shape and position was found when comparing materials processed by ECAP and asymmetric rolling. Isothermal aging treatments performed at 180°C revealed that in the severely deformed samples, aging became so fast that the hardness curves continuously decreased due to overwhelming effects of structure restoration. On the contrary, aging at 130°C offers good opportunities for fully exploiting the precipitate hardening effects in the ultrafine-grained alloy.

Aluminum-based alloys containing quasicrystalline particles of 50 – 600 nm in diameter as a reinforcing phase were produced in the form of powder or ribbons by water atomization or melt spinning techniques, respectively. Rods were compacted from powders and some ribbons by severe plastic deformation without sintering. Structure and mechanical behavior of alloys are discussed.
