Seminar Dr. Alexander Zhilyaev: Bulk nanostructured materials processed by severe plastic deformation: from fundamentals towards applications

Dr. Alexander Zhilyaev: Fundació CTM Centre Tecnològic (Spain) and Institute for Metals Superplasticity Problems of Russian Academy of Science (Russia) In recent years, the development of bulk nanostructured materials (BNM) has become one of the most fascinating directions in modern materials science. One method of nanostructuring is the “top-down” approach which is based on grain refinement through heavy straining or shock wave loading. During the last two decades, grain refinement by severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques has attracted special interest…
