Regularities and Mechanisms of Formation of Submicro-, Nano-, and Ultrafine-Grained Structures and Mechanical Properties of Metals and Alloys Under Different Treatments

An overview of our original studies and the results reported in the literature on the investigation of variations in structure, phase composition, mechanical and other properties of metallic materials under external impacts is made, including their high-pressure processing by large (severe) plastic and megaplastic deformation, explosion loading, and irradiation with ultra-short laser pulses.
