Wear Resistance of SPD-Processed Alloys

Various different severe plastic deformation processes (SPD) have been developed to produce ultra-fine grained (UFG) materials during the last two decades. One very important material property that the UFG materials should have for structural materials application is good wear resistance. This review paper presents some recent work related to the wear resistance of materials processed by SPD, in particular for alloys processed by using equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) and accumulative roll-bonding (ARB).
