Publisher's Synopsis
The Second Volume of this Special Issue focuses on new trends and progress in the hot and cold plastic deformation of metals and alloys and all new developments in the relationships between their structure and mechanical properties. All aspects related to plastic deformation from low to ultra-high strain, new methods, new technologies, and new applications in the broadly defined field of plastic deformation, as well as innovative approaches in this area, are welcomed. In addition, we cover thermomechanical processing, hot-rolling, heat treatment after plastic deformation, physical and numerical simulation of plastic deformation, and structural characterization. This Special Issue provides a multiscale approach to better understand the principal mechanisms of the plastic deformation of materials and their applications.
