Recent Developments in the Processing and Applications of Structural Metals and Alloys
Description:
This volume brings together the most exciting ideas of international, and especially European, researchers concerning the latest developments in severe plastic deformation techniques and in the thermomechanical processing of materials for both structural and functional applications. The areas of interest include not only the conventional hot- and cold-deformation of metals but also recently developed severe plastic deformation processes for the production of ultra-fine and nanostructured materials.
In particular, the following specific topics are covered: Multifunctional nanostructured coatings, Modelling and recrystallization, Nanostructured materials and Severe plastic deformation, Hot plastic deformation, Process Mechanics and Microstructure.

Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
European and other researchers share findings and thoughts regarding severe plastic deformation techniques and the thermo-mechanical processing of materials for both structural and functional applications. The conventional hot and cold deformation of metals is explored of course, but also recently developed processes for producing ultra-fine and nanostructured materials. Of the 60 papers presented, 40 are represented here, exploring such topics as the nanoindentation of silicon, developing superplasticity in metallic alloys by applying severe plastic deformation, plastic flow and grain refinement under simple shear-based severe plastic deformation processing, engendering ultra-fine microstructures in titanium with powder metallurgy for improved ductility and strength, the influence of dynamic restoration in failure at elevated temperatures, and the role of boundaries in the control of deformation rate and strength of crystalline materials.
