Hardening of pure metals by high pressure torsion: a physically-based model employing volume averaged defect evolutions

A physically based model to predict the increment of hardness and grain refinement of pure metals due to severe plastic deformation by high-pressure torsion (HPT) is proposed. The model incorporates volume-averaged thermally activated dislocation annihilation and grain boundary formation. Strengthen...
