Advantages and limitations of HPT: a review

مروری بر مزایا و محدودیت های HPT

ABSTRACT

The improvements in the design of the HPT tools lead to a well defined torsiondeformation and permits, therefore, a comparison with other SPD-techniques. The design of thetools, the advantages and disadvantages of HPT, as well as the limitation in the sample size are discussed.For a long time torsion has been frequently used to determine the stress strain behaviour at large strains. In free torsion, the geometrical changes are usually very small. The fracture strain is significantly larger than in tensile experiments due to the vanishing macroscopic hydrostatic tension component of the stress. By applying an additional hydrostatic compression stress, the fracture strain can be further enhanced and can be increased to infinity at very high hydrostatic compression stresses.High pressure torsion, HPT, is a realisation of such a torsion experiment [1-3]. One can distinguish between constrained and unconstrained version.
