Abstract
The effect of ultrasonic treatment on the microstructure, microhardness and thermal stability of pure nickel after high pressure torsion (HPT) was studied. It was shown that the ultrasonic treatment reduces internal stresses induced by severe plastic deformation. The higher the intensity of ultrasound in the range studied, the stronger is this effect. Also it was revealed that grain growth in nickel processed by HPT followed by ultrasonic treatment occurs at higher temperatures than that in nickel as-processed by HPT, i.e. the thermal stability of nanostructured nickel is increased.
