Abstract

A severe plastic deformation (SPD) technique was applied to an Al-7075 alloy reinforced with 10 vol.% Al2O3. This processing method of high-pressure torsion (HPT) was performed at room temperature under a pressure of 6.0 GPa through a total number of up to 20 turns. The metal matrix composite (MMC) showed a significant grain refinement from an initial average grain size of ?8 ?m to ?300 nm after processing by HPT through 20 turns which led to an increase in the average values of Vickers microhardness at room temperature.
