Microstructure development and hardening during high pressure torsion of commercially pure aluminium: strain reversal experiments and a dislocation based model

The effect of strain reversal on hardening due to high pressure torsion (HPT) was investigated using commercially pure aluminium. Hardening is lower for cyclic HPT (c-HPT) as compared to monotonic HPT (m-HPT). When using a cycle consisting of a rotation of 90 degree per half cycle, there is only a s...
