Structure and Tensile Strength of Pure Cu after High Pressure Torsion Extrusion
The microstructure and mechanical properties of rod-shaped samples (measuring 11.8 mm in diameter and 35 mm in length) of commercially pure (CP) copper were characterized after they were processed by high pressure torsion extrusion (HPTE). During HPTE, CP copper was subjected to extremely high strai...
