This book discusses in detail grain refinement through various severe plastic deformation processes such as equal channel angular pressing, high-pressure torsion and twist extrusion. It also deals with the grain refinement mechanism, the influence of process parameters on properties of fabricated micro/nano material and thermal stability, as well as commercialised nanostructured metals and alloys...
