Phase transformations and atomic transport induced by severe plastic deformation

• Study and understanding of the phenomena of deformation induced segregation in aluminum alloys (Al-Zn, Al-Cu, Al-Mg)

• Mechanisms of deformation induced decomposition of second phase particles and formation of out-of-equilibrium solid solutions.

• Precipitation mechanisms in severely deformed alloys and relationships with mechanical behaviour.

Nanocomposites produced by severe plastic deformations

• Co-deformation mechanisms in metal matrix composites
• Nanostructure/properties relationships of filamentary composites
