Statistical Analysis of Histograms of Grain Size Distribution in Nanostructured Materials Processed by Severe Plastic Deformation

Abstract:

Analysis of histograms of grain size distribution of materials nanostructured by severe plastic deformation has been carried out using statistical analysis methods. It has been established that in materials with quite homogeneous nanostructure, the fitting of histograms of grain size distribution by using a logarithmic standard distribution is not accurate enough. It is proposed to compensate for the observed imprecision by including into the model the additional component – normal distribution. It is shown that this approach is applicable to nanostructured materials with both the deformation-origin nanostructure and the grain structure formed during annealing.
