Abstract—Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) is a widely technique used to produce Ultrafine Grained (UFG) structure that has superior mechanical properties. In this review a large family of different SPD processes like Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP), High-Pressure Torsion (HPT), Multi-Axial Forging (MAF) and others has been presented. Also application of SPD techniques on some metals and alloys have been discussed. Titanium with different grades is one of the most important materials that is subjected to SPD due to its distinguished mechanical properties like low density, high strength, high corrosion resistance etc. This makes Titanium useful in many industrial and biomedical applications. Ultrafine grained (UFG) titanium has even more applications rather than coarse grained (CGS) material. In this review, the recent development in mechanical characterization and applications of nanostructure Titanium has been dictated. Moreover, the potential future work has also been discussed.
Index Terms—Nano-structured, SPD, Titanium, Ultrafine Grained.
