Abstract In this review we are considered systematically the phenomenon of deformation-induced phase transformations from crystalline intermetallic compounds and complex phases to amorphous state and vice versa phase transformations from amorphous state to crystalline one upon severe plastic deformation at different temperatures. The nature and structural features of these transitions essentially for high pressure torsion deformation are analyzed in the frame of basic principles of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The effects of phase cycling and a stationary amorphous - nanocrystalline state formation at significant deformations is discussed in details.

In recent years, the methods of severe plastic deformation and rapid melt quenching have proven to be an effective tool for the formation of the unique properties of materials. The effect of high-pressure torsion (HPT) on the structure of the amorphous alloys of the quasi-binary TiNi–TiCu system with a copper content of more than 30 at.% produced by melt spinning technique has been analyzed using the methods of scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The structure examinations have shown that the HPT of the alloys with a Cu content ranging from 30 to 40 at.% leads to nanocrystallization from the amorphous state. An increase in the degree of deformation leads to a substantial change in the character of the crystallization reflected by the DSC curves of the alloys under study. The alloys containing less than 34 at.% Cu exhibit crystallization peak splitting, whereas the alloys containing more than 34 at.% Cu exhibit a third peak at lower temperatures. The latter effect suggests the formation of regions of possible low-temperature crystallization. It has been established that the HPT causes a significant decrease in the thermal effect of crystallization upon heating of the alloys with a high copper content relative to that of the initial amorphous melt quenched state.

Processing through the application of severe plastic deformation (SPD) provides a very attractive tool for the production of bulk ultrafine-grained materials. These materials typically have grain sizes in the submicrometer or nanometer ranges and they exhibit high strength at ambient temperature and, if the ultrafine grains are reasonably stable at elevated temperatures, they have a potential for use in superplastic forming operations. Several procedures are now available for applying SPD to metal samples but the most promising are Equal-Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) and High-Pressure Torsion (HPT). This paper examines the basic principles of ECAP and HPT and describes some of the properties that may be achieved using these processing techniques.

Results of investigations of structure and phase transformations and properties of the TiNi-based alloys with a shape memory effect (SME) after severe plastic deformation (SPD) by cold rolling, cold drawing, high pressure torsion and subsequent annealing are reported. It is found that the baroelastic effects related to the highly reversible martensitic transformations can occur in alloys, subjected to high pressure. The evolution of fine structure of the alloys into nanocrystalline and then amorphous state during SPD and after subsequent annealing have been studied. The effect of grain size on the martensitic transformations and properties of the alloys is discussed.

The formation of submicrocrystalline structure during severe plastic deformation and its effect on mechanical properties of an S304H austenitic stainless steel with chemical composition of Fe – 0.1C – 0.12N – 0.1Si – 0.95Mn – 18.4Cr – 7.85Ni – 3.2Cu – 0.5Nb – 0.01P – 0.006S (all in mass%) were studied. The severe plastic deformation was carried out by high pressure torsion (HPT) at two different temperatures, i.e., room temperature or 400°C. HPT at room temperature or 400°C led to the formation of a fully austenitic submicrocrystalline structure. The grain size and strength of the steels with ultrafine-grained structures produced by cold or warm HPT were almost the same. The ultimate tensile strengths were 1950 MPa and 1828 MPa after HPT at room temperature and 400°C, respectively.

Using the methods of electron microscopy and X-ray analysis in combination with measurements of the electrical resistance and magnetic susceptibility, the authors have obtained data on the peculiar features of pre-martensitic states and martensitic transformations, as well as subsequent decomposition, in the alloys with shape memory effect of Cu–14wt%Al–3wt%Ni and Cu–13.5wt%Al–3.5wt%Ni. For the first time, we established the microstructure, phase composition, mechanical properties, and microhardness of the alloys obtained in the nanocrystalline state as a result of severe plastic deformation under high pressure torsion and subsequent annealing. A crystallographic model of the martensite nucleation and the rearrangements β1→β1' and β1→γ1ꞌ are proposed based on the analysis of the observed tweed contrast and diffuse scattering in the austenite and the internal defects in the substructure of the martensite.

This work focuses on the temperature evolution of the martensitic phase ε (hexagonal close packed) induced by the severe plastic deformation via High Speed High Pressure Torsion method in Fe57Mn27Si11Cr5 (at %) alloy. The iron rich alloy crystalline structure, magnetic and transport properties were investigated on samples subjected to room temperature High Speed High Pressure Torsion incorporating 1.86 degree of deformation and also hot-compression. Thermo-resistivity as well as thermomagnetic measurements indicate an antiferromagnetic behavior with the Néel temperature (TN) around 244 K, directly related to the austenitic γ-phase. The sudden increase of the resistivity on cooling below the Néel temperature can be explained by an increased phonon-electron interaction. In-situ magnetic and electric transport measurements up to 900 K are equivalent to thermal treatments and lead to the appearance of the bcc-ferrite-like type phase, to the detriment of the ε(hcp) martensite and the γ (fcc) austenite phases.
