演讲内容：

Severe plastic deformation has become a popular top-down approach to produce ultrafine microstructures in various metallic materials. Various methods have been developed such as equiangular channel pressing (ECAP), accumulative roll bonding (ARB), multi-directional forging (MDF) and high-pressure torsion (HPT). Among these HPT method is very unique method since a large shear strain can be applied even to brittle materials, e.g., intermetallics, amorphous, ceramics, hcp materials etc., because of quasi-hydrostatic nature of deformation. Although the HPT method can serve as a tool to explore new deformation modes or phase transformation in extreme condition, disadvantage may be the limitation in the size of the sample. Meanwhile, caliber rolling and swaging may be other possible methods to produce ultrafine microstructure in larger scale.

The present talk will introduce the effort to produce ultrafine microstructures in Ti alloys, Mg alloys using these conventional and non-conventional processes.
