Abstract
Recently, severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques have been gaining wide popularity in developing nano/ultrafine grained (UFG) structured materials for a wide variety of applications. Among SPD techniques, there are a few techniques that are specially used to process metallic sheets and plates. Repetitive corrugation and straightening (RCS) is one such promising technique, which can produce fine grained structures in metallic sheets or plates in bulk. The process was introduced to develop UFG metallic sheets and plates nearly a decade ago and is now gaining great interest in the material processing field. The aim of the present review is to give a comprehensive summary of the state-of-the-art of the process in developing fine grained structured sheets. Emphasis has been given to discuss different material systems processed by RCS. The mechanism behind the grain refinement during RCS, promising applications, and future perspectives in developing UFG structured sheets or plates by RCS are also discussed.
