Abstract
Structural changes observed in samples of technical-purity titanium, copper, and aluminum alloy AMts (Al–Mn) after severe plastic deformation were studied and results of this investigation are presented. In experiments, materials were loaded with the help of a gun. Samples were accelerated up to the velocity of about 100–400 m/s and then directed into a special matrix consisting of two channels located at 90° to one another. These samples were deformed with the strain rate of ~ 105 s−1; the stagnation pressure in the channel ranged from 2 to 5 GPa. Consideration is given to the relation between loading conditions and the specific nature of structure formation in materials. Under dynamic loading, the coarse-grained structure of the grain in the aluminum alloy becomes ~ 400 nm, and the sub-grain structure with the size of 50–100 nm is formed in copper. Microhardness of materials increases 1.5–2 times.
