7 results about "Severe plastic deformation" patented technology

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is a generic term describing a group of metalworking techniques involving very large strains typically involving a complex stress state or high shear, resulting in a high defect density and equiaxed "ultrafine" grain (UFG) size (d < 500 nm) or nanocrystalline (NC) structure (d < 100 nm).
