| Description | This cluster of papers focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and mechanical properties of nanomaterials, particularly nanocrystalline metals, produced through severe plastic deformation techniques. It explores the effects of grain refinement, grain boundary engineering, and size-dependent deformation mechanisms on the strength and ductility of these materials. |
