Fastener materials after high-pressure forming

This paper presents general characteristics of high-pressure forming of metals and metal alloys with the use of hydrostatic extrusion method. It describes the advantages of the process with particular attention paid to the possibility of refining the structure of metals and metal alloys to a nanometric or ultra-fine level resulting in significant improvement of their mechanical properties. It shows the examples of practical application of formed metals, namely titanium and aluminium alloy AA5083, in the manufacture of fastening elements.
