Vm. Segal et al., IN-SITU COMPOSITES PROCESSED BY SIMPLE SHEAR, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 224(1-2), 1997, pp. 107-115
A new deformation method for the fabrication of in situ composites is
described. It is found that intensive simple shear, performed repeated
ly in the same direction, transforms ductile second phase particles in
to aligned filaments. Processing is performed by multi-step equal chan
nel angular extrusion (ECAE). Results of experiments on Cu-18Nb and Cu
-25Ag alloys demonstrate the ability of this method to fabricate filam
entary composites from cast bulk products with no change in the work p
iece cross-section. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
