The mechanical properties of materials strongly depend on their microstructure. Therefore, engineering the material's microstructure can lead to improving its m
This book is devoted to the deformation and failure in metallic materials, summarizing the results of a research programme financed by the "Deutsche Forschungsg
Recently, it was reported that nanostructured materials processed under high pressure by HPT and ECAP have an extraordinary combination of both high strength an
Provides accounts of the processing and structure of nanostructured materials, with emphasis on bulk materials; the underlying principles of relevant deformatio
In an attempt to meet the demand for new ultra-high strength materials, the processing of novel material configurations with unique microstructure is being expl
