Abstract
It has been revealed experimentally that high-pressure torsion induces phase transformations of certain Hume-Rothery phases (electron compounds) to others. High-pressure torsion induces the ξ → δ + ɛ reaction in copper-tin alloys with the appearance of the δ + ɛ phase mixture as after long-term annealing in the temperature range Teff = 350–589°C. The mass transfer rate driven by high-pressure torsion is 14–18 orders of magnitude higher than the rate of conventional thermal diffusion at the processing temperature THPT. This phenomenon can be explained by an increased concentration of defects (in particular, vacancies) in the steady state under high-pressure torsion, which is equivalent to an increase in the temperature.
