Abstract

Processing through the application of high-pressure torsion (HPT) provides significant grain refinement in bulk metals at room temperature. These ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials after HPT generally demonstrate exceptional mechanical properties. Recent reports demonstrated the bulk-state reactions for mechanical bonding of dissimilar lightweight metal disks to synthesize hybrid alloy systems by utilizing conventional HPT processing. Accordingly, the present report provides a comprehensive summary of the recent work on processing of several UFG hybrid alloy systems including Al-Mg and Al-Cu by HPT under 6.0 GPa at room temperature and a special emphasis was placed on understanding the evolution of hardness. This study demonstrates a significant opportunity for the application of HPT for a possible contribution to current enhancements in diffusion bonding, welding and mechanical joining technologies as well as to an introduction of hybrid engineering nanomaterials.
