The grain size distribution was determined by the mean linear intercept method with the
number of cuts of about 300.
It is found that some of the elongated grain boundaries have large misorientation angles.
The observed cross divisions of the elongated grains are characterised by low misorientation angles, nevertheless they contribute to the calculated mean grain/subgrain size of 545 nm (Fig. 7).
After 8 passes of I-ECAP, more grains with higher misorientation angles (Fig. 6b) are observed while the mean grain size is reduced to 453 nm (Fig. 7).

Coarse-Grained Capacity Balancing Model Based on Fuzzy Capacity
Fuzzy Capacity Balancing Model with Penalty Coefficients.
Fine-Grained Capacity Balancing Model The fine-capacity balancing model is the foundation of the medium-grained capacity balancing model, provides process parameter data accurate to the machine precisely.
We give a heuristic adjustment algorithm based on the dynamic critical process for this model; the algorithm thought is to remove the product number (task) whose difference between the load and capacity not balanced is the closest in each circulation, to guarantee the balance objectives to be most superior.
Step4 Selecting the task number whose time took is most approach to the difference which machine's load surpasses the capacity of machine m to enter the adjustment set (balancing capacity).
Otherwise ②Choosing the machine km with sub-high load ratio, until determined the task number whose time took is most approach to the difference which machine's load surpass the capacity of machine km to enter the adjustment set.

Homogenous deformation would ensure uniform strain distribution and provide uniform grain
refinement across the workpiece.
The number of finite elements is plotted over a range of strains.
The number of finite elements is plotted over a range of strains in Figure 3c.
Strain homogeneity in a work piece after ECAP was quantified as strain variance and represented by plotting histograms (number of elements along a strain range).

Size effects such as specimen dimension,
blank thickness, punch corner dimension, grain size, and grid dimension (for strain measurement), as
well as the microstructure of material and surface condition all seriously influence the forming of
miniature parts.
Raulea [8] studied the relations between flow stress and the ratio of thickness to grain size by using uni-axial tension and simple bending tests.
The results showed that yield strength decreases with a decreasing number of grains over the thickness up to one grain over the thickness; however, for grain sizes larger than the specimen thickness, the yield strength tends to increase with the increasing grain size.

Often to increase the strength of deformable metal should be given reduced grain structure, up to subultra and even nano-level.
There are several ways to obtain sub-ultra-fine-grain structure of metals, and one of those ways is a method of severe plastic deformation (SPD), implemented in the whole volume of the deformable metal.
Introduction In recent years a number of new processes of metal forming to obtain metal with sub-ultra-fine-grain structure were developed.
And the only rational choice of mode of deformation for a given the profile and size of the workpiece, and consideration of all factors will make this complex process and end up getting a metal with sub-ultra-fine grain.

In the case of continuous casting structure, it
consists of many enormous and coarse grains and includes many porosities and defects.

This result shows that continuous casting structures have a complicate arrangement of coarse grains so that longitudinal wave is affected by the state of internal structure of materials during propagation.
One reason is that a continuous casting slab which is composed of enormous coarse grains was divided arbitrarily in the direction of thickness for testing convenience.
horizontal line defect Conclusions Transmission tests were performed with longitudinal wave and Rayleigh wave on specimens of continuous casting slab whose structures consists of enormous and coarse grains and intricate microstructures.

From Fig. 1(a), we can see that the FC specimen that was applied with solution treatment at 823K and furnace-cooled to 293K has large precipitates of μm size formed uniformly throughout the grains EDX analysis revealed these precipitates were of phosphorus habit.
That is to say that, according to the TEM observation results [10], in the grains, precipitates of average size 15nm were uniformly formed, while areas without precipitates are created around the grain boundaries, and on the boundaries large Si precipitates of average size 170nm formed, since some of the fracture surfaces indicated grain boundary fracture, it may be assumed that the precipitates on the grain boundaries triggered the fractures, and thus the increase of the breaking elongation was much less.

When x=0.005, the average grain size is 1-2μm, and the grain size increases with increasing Li+ content; when x=0.03, the macro-domains can be seen, which is important to the high electric properties.
When x=0.005, the average grain size is 1-2μm, and the grain size decreases rapidly with increasing La3+ content.
When x>0.01, the grain size is below 1μm.
Accordingly, larger numbers of nanosized polar regions(2-50nm) induced relaxor characteristics in La-modified KNN ceramics.
Thus large numbers of micro-domains induced relaxor characteristics. 3.
