Mechanical Behavior of a Ni-based Crystalline and a Zr-based Amorphous Materials Subjected to Surface Severe Plastic Deformation

A surface-treatment process, surface-severe-plastic deformation (S2PD), is developed and applied on both crystalline and amorphous materials to introduce the plastic deformation in the near-surface layer. A S2PD-processed crystalline component is expected to have enhanced fatigue properties because...
