【 摘 要 】

When polycrystalline materials are tested in tension at elevated temperatures, the flow mechanisms depend upon various parameters including the temperature of testing, the applied stress and the material grain size. The plotting of deformation mechanism maps is a procedure used widely in displaying and interpreting the creep properties of conventional coarse-grained metals but there have been few attempts to date to use this same procedure for ultrafine-grained and nanocrystalline materials produced through the application of severe plastic deformation (SPD). This report examines the potential for using deformation mechanism mapping for materials processed by SPD and presents examples for materials processed using equal-channel angular pressing and high-pressure torsion.
