Abstract

Ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials have caught much attention due to their significantly enhanced mechanical properties. However, local deformation easily occurred during tensile and fatigue processes of the traditional UFG materials produced by severe plastic deformation methods due to their metastable microstructure, resulting in the greatly reduced mechanical properties. This paper introduced a new method of preparing the UFG materials -friction stir processing (FSP), and the microstructure and mechanical properties of FSP UFG materials were summarized and discussed compared with other UFG materials.

Key words: metallic materials friction stir processing ultrafine-grained material microstructure mechanical property
