Superplasticity in Ultrafine-Grained Materials. [PDF]
Superplasticity refers to the ability of a polycrystalline solid to exhibit a high elongation, of at least 400% or more, when testing in tension. The basic characteristics of superplastic flow are now understood and a theoretical model is available to ...

Annealing‐Induced Hardening in Ultrafine‐Grained and Nanocrystalline Materials [PDF]
Annealing of deformed metals is considered as a process necessarily leading to softening due to the annihilation of lattice defects. However, in ultrafine‐grained (UFG) and nanocrystalline materials, annealing at moderate temperatures may induce ...

Fracture Kinetics and Mechanisms of Ultrafine-Grained Materials during Fatigue Tests in the Low-Cycle Fatigue Region [PDF]
In this paper, the fracture kinetics and mechanisms in the low-cycle fatigue region were analyzed for different ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials with body-centered cubic (bcc), hexagonal close-packed (hcp) and face-centered cubic (fcc) lattices.

Influence of grain size on the solid-state direct reduction of polycrystalline iron oxide [PDF]
Direct reduction of iron oxide using hydrogen offers a sustainable route to lower carbon emissions in steelmaking. Although iron oxide feedstocks consist of polycrystalline pellets, the influence of initial hematite grain size on direct reduction remains

Mechanical behavior of ultrafine-grained materials under combined static and dynamic loadings [PDF]
Ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials have extensive prospects for engineering application due to their excellent mechanical properties. However, the grain size decrease reduces their strain hardening ability and makes UFG materials more susceptible to ...
