Severe plastic deformation: A state of art

Abstract

The proposed application of the study on severe plastic deformation (SPD), also known as Nano-SPD, is to provide a comprehensive overview of the recent advancements and developments in the field. The focus of the study is to highlight the various continuous processes used for producing ultrafine-grained and nanostructured materials, such as equal-channel angular pressing, high-pressure torsion, twist extrusion, accumulative roll-bonding, and multi-directional forging. The study also aims to demonstrate the versatility of SPD in processing a wide range of materials, including semiconductors, alloys, glasses, polymers, ceramics, and composite materials. Furthermore, the study highlights the potential of SPD in stabilizing metastable states and synthesizing novel materials with superior functional and mechanical characteristics. The proposed application of the study is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the advancements and developments in the field of Nano-SPD and to highlight its potential in producing advanced materials with enhanced properties. This study is expected to be useful for researchers, engineers, and material scientists working in the field of materials science and engineering.
