    The finding of anisotropic compatibility of grain boundaries in a directionally solidified superalloy

    The anisotropic compatibility of grain boundaries (GBs) is found in a directionally solidified superalloy, when loading is aligned with (L sample) or transverse (T sample) to the grain growth direction. The gr...

    The hot deformation behaviour of laser powder bed fusion deposited Al–Si–Cu alloy processed by high-pressure torsion

    The tensile properties of an ultrafine-grained Al–9%Si–3%Cu alloy deposited by the laser powder bed fusion process have been investigated in this work. The additively manufactured (AM) alloy was subjected to h...

    Microstructural and hardness evolution of additively manufactured Al–Si–Cu alloy processed by high-pressure torsion

    Nanostructured Al-9%Si-3%Cu alloy was achieved by direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) and then processed using high-pressure torsion (HPT) processing, which resulted in considerable grain refinement down to 60...

    An investigation into the effect of substrate on the load-bearing capacity of thin hard coatings

    TiN and diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings were deposited on Ti substrates with and without processing by high-pressure torsion (HPT). The HPT processing refined the grain size of titanium from the coarse-grai...

    Tribology testing of ultrafine-grained Ti processed by high-pressure torsion with subsequent coating

    A grade 2 pure Ti was processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) under 3.0 GPa for 10 revolutions to achieve an improved strength. Wear tests revealed that HPT only slightly improved the wear resistance of pure ...

    Wear behavior of an aluminum alloy processed by equal-channel angular pressing

    Wear tests were conducted on an aluminum Al-1050 alloy after processing by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP). The results show that the coefficient of friction remains unchanged after processing by ECAP, b...
