Plastic flow, structure and mechanical properties in pure Al deformed by twist extrusion
Twist extrusion (TE) is known as one of newly developed, but still moderately studied severe plastic deformation methods. This research was initiated to conduct a detailed study of structure-properties relationship evolution during TE processing. The evolution of macrostructure, Vickers hardness and tensile properties was studied in 99.99% purity aluminum during twist extrusion processing at room
