Abstract:

Processes by which bulk forms can be produced in a single continuous operation, as opposed to multi-stage deformation processes that involve a series of separate and discrete deformation operations or stages. Such processes generally entail deforming a solid body using a large-strain extrusion machining technique and deformation conditions that obtain a predetermined crystallographic texture in the continuous bulk form that differs from the crystallographic texture of the solid body.
