Abstract |
The high stiffness and low density of Al-Li alloy make them particularly interesting for aircraft applications. Their properties may be improved by grain refinement to nanometer scale. To this end various severe plastic deformation methods can be used. The aim of this work was to describe the microstructure of an Al-Li alloy subjected to two different severe plastic deformation methods.
