| Abstract Scope |
High-pressure torsion (HPT) is a conventional processing procedure that may be used to achieve exceptional grain refinement in pure metals and metallic alloys. Recently, this procedure was extended to simultaneously process two different metals placed together in an HPT facility. The results from these experiments demonstrate the potential for producing nano-composites having remarkably high strength with outstanding strength-to-weight ratios. This presentation describes this new approach to HPT processing and gives examples of the types of results that may be achieved. |
