Scope: Metallic materials rely on engineering their microstructure and hierarchical organization, achieved through creating a spatial hierarchy ranging from atomic/dislocation to grain level. Deformation processing, such as high-pressure torsion or friction stir processing, modifies defect structures to form a microstructural hierarchy. However, understanding the microstructural evolution and its influence on material properties is a challenge due to the mechanical-thermal coupling involved. This special topic aims to bring together researchers from various communities working on deformation-induced microstructural modification, including severe plastic deformation, grain boundary engineering, and precipitation under deformation. Experimental and computational research topics are welcome.
