A. Korznikov et al., THERMAL EVOLUTION OF THE STRUCTURE OF ULTRA-FINE GRAINED MATERIALS PRODUCED BY SEVERE PLASTIC-DEFORMATION, Annales de chimie, 21(6-7), 1996, pp. 443-460
Recent results concerning the evolution on annealing of the microstruc
ture and of some properties of two submicro-grained materials obtained
by severe plasic deformation: pure nickel and the intermetallic compo
und Ni3Al, are first presented. On the basis of these data, the publis
hed results concerning pure metals, metallic alloys and intermetallic
compounds are discussed in the second part of the paper. The common as
pects and the distinctive characteristics of the thermal evolution of
the different classes of materials are emphasized.
