Abstract

This chapter discusses about emerging advanced materials: ultrafine grain materials. The concept of this material has been discussed with respect to the grain size and grain boundary behavior toward the low- and high-temperature processing. Different superplastic deformation processes such as equal-channel angular pressing, high-pressure torsion, accumulative roll bonding, friction stir processing, multidirectional forging, cyclic extrusion and compression, repetitive corrugation and straightening, twist extrusion along with the machining process have been discussed. Currently, revealed properties and the developing product have been discussed.
