The fine and pancake-like grains of this alloy lead to the increase of fatigue life and fatigue strength.
The S-N (Stress amplitude-Number of cycles to failure) curves of Al-Mg-Mn alloys with and without minor Sc and Zr are shown in Fig.1 It shows that in the same loading stress amplitude condition, the numbers of cycles to failure of the Al-Mg-Mn-Sc-Zr alloy were significantly higher than those of the Al-Mg-Mn alloy.
Discussion Effect of grain structure on the fatigue properties.
Al-Mg-Mn alloy sheets with Sc and Zr still retain the fine pancake-like grain structure after annealing, but grain structure of Al-Mg -Mn alloy sheets without Sc and Zr is equiaxed coarse recrystallization grains.
Additionaly, the grain-fining enhances the resistance to slip deformation, restrains the formation and development of slip band, the resistance to microcrack propagation from grain boundary also increases [13,14].

It is convenient in practice to express the total strain in terms of the total number of rotations applied.
Figure 4 shows a montage of the internal microstructure on the longer plane of this specimen after N = 1, where N is the number of turns: the plane of sectioning is illustrated at the upper right in Fig. 4.
To evaluate the significance of continuing processing to a larger number of turns, Fig. 7 shows a montage of the microstructures on a longitudinal section after a total of 2 turns.
(3) After two turns, the microstructure at the edge in the mid-section was uniform with equiaxed grains, high angle boundaries and an average grain size of ~130 nm.

When a large number of high-power electrical appliances work together in the same system, the current of the electrical system will exceed its rated current.
White color represents the air poles in the melted marks and other colors represent different grain orientations relevantly; black color represents grain boundary. 3.2 Grain misorientation in melted marks of copper wire The grain misorientation (grain boundary angle) of the PMMs and OMMs are obtained (Fig. 2).
The horizontal ordinate delegates those grain boundary angles >15° and the vertical ordinate is on behalf of the relative frequency of each grain boundary angle correspondingly.
The ratios of high-angle grain boundaries to total grain boundaries in melted marks are calculated.
PMMs of copper wires were filled with columnar crystals in which there was a large number of air pores scattered, whereas the OMMs of copper wires were occupied by numerous dendrite crystals in which air pores were hardly detected.

Small new grains formed at triple points and more rarely within grains.
This was particularly important as etched NaCl creates unwanted topography that reduces the number of successfully indexed pixels.
Orientation filtering to remove "noise" in maps proved very useful and reduced the number of artefact subgrains, which were often single or double pixels along boundaries.
At this very low misorientation the EBSD maps showed the subgrain boundaries and the correlation with LM was good but the number of artefact boundaries also increased.
Some long subgrain boundaries cut completely across a grain, dissecting it into two smaller grains.

Measured structural characteristics were the profile intensities NA (the mean number of grain profiles per unit area of the section plane) and the chord intensities NL (the mean number of profile chords per unit length of the test line).
The estimate of the grain intensity NV (the mean number of grains per unit volume) was obtained following the recommendation of the ASTM E-112 Standard [11] as [NV] = 0.8Π(NA) 3/2, where Π denotes the geometric mean of NA(•), (for a discussion of this relation see [12, 13]).
The surface intensity SV (the mean grain boundary area per unit volume) was estimated as [SV] = 2ENL and the length intensity of grain boundary junctions LV (the mean length of triple grain junction per unit volume) as [LV] = 4ENA, where E denotes the arithmetic mean with respect to all examined planes or directions (the relation [SV] = 2ENL is the standard stereological relation, the relation [LV] = 4ENA follows from the fact that the mean number of profile vertices is 6, hence 2ENA estimates the mean number PA of triple points per unit section area and [LV] = 2PA is again the standard stereological relation).
The estimated mean grain volumes are of the same order - 4 and 12 µm3, but a grain of the volume exceeding 10 4 µm3 (see [10]).

After 50% reduction and above, an equiaxed, fine grained structure mainly surrounded by high-angle boundaries was uniformly formed with dislocation substructures, where the dislocation density in the grains is relatively low.
Introduction Decreasing a grain size is a promising strategy to increase both strength and toughness of metals.
A large number of low-angle boundaries are also present within the blocks.
With increasing applied strain, a martensite lath structure was gradually changed into an equiaxed fine grained structure containing dislocation substructures.
A quite uniform fine grained structure with a large amount of high-angle boundaries was obtained only after 50% compression and above.

The microstructure of welding zone of welding metals with various heat treatments is grain boundary ferrite, Widmanstatten ferrite and acicular ferrite.
The hardness number of weld metals with quenching process have a highest number base metal, HAZ and weld metals.
On the other hand, base metal has a uniform fine grained microstructure of ferrite and pearlite with large grain sizes.

The 200 peer-reviewed articles in this “Nanomaterials by Severe Plastic Deformation” special collection are a convincing demonstration of the relevance of bulk ultrafine grained and nanostructured materials, produced by severe plastic deformation, to a wide range of researchers and engineers., The total number of articles in this edition, larger than that in the 2008 edition, shows that this community is, in fact, growing.
The coverage includes all aspects of NanoSPD: Principles of SPD Processing, Microstructural Evolution and Grain Refinement, Mechanical Properties of SPD Materials, Functional and other Properties of SPD Materials, Innovation and Applications.

During annealing process, the twin grains disappeared and the original bulky organization was replaced by recrystallization grain, while the grain refinement was obvious with the grain reduction to 20-60μm.
Some initial grain steered to favor orientation by grain rotating, initiated new twin, secondary twin and crossed twin[7].
It shows that grain refinement is obvious, twins disappeared during annealing, crystal grain siae changed from 200~300μm to 20~30μm.
Put number in table 1 and R2/R1 into (1), and table 2 show the calculation results.
At the same time the size of grain decreeased to 20-60μm which indicated that the grain refinement was obvious.

Grain refinement remains the only option to increase strength without introducing harmful side effects.
Numbers indicate applied pass strain.
Partial austenite recrystallization after each finishing pass was expected to provide only limited austenite grain refinement and a relatively coarse final ferrite grain size.
The depth of the X trough correlated with the final ferrite grain size.
