3 Results <strong>and</strong> Discussi<strong>on</strong><br />

Figure 3.3: (a) The structure size <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> nickel after deformati<strong>on</strong> by high pressure torsi<strong>on</strong> (b) missorientati<strong>on</strong> angle<br />

distributi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> nickel after deformati<strong>on</strong> by high pressure torsi<strong>on</strong> to different strains.<br />

lower this value is, the lower is the total equivalent strain necessary for this <strong>on</strong>set.<br />

Experiments with a larger ∆ɛ than 4 were not performed because there is almost no difference<br />

between the structure size after HPT <strong>and</strong> CHPT with a ∆ɛ = 4. In radial directi<strong>on</strong>,<br />

the same el<strong>on</strong>gated elements as in HPT are visible. Here also after large ɛeq,total, the angle<br />

between the length axis <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the el<strong>on</strong>gated elements <strong>and</strong> the normal <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the shear plane is in good<br />

agreement with the shear angle corresp<strong>on</strong>ding to the strain increment. It is interesting to notice<br />

that many features that are well known for c<strong>on</strong>venti<strong>on</strong>al fatigue are also present in these CHPT<br />

deformed samples. A detailed descripti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the processes <strong>and</strong> a comparis<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> the results for<br />

HPT with other areas are given in Papers H <strong>and</strong> I.<br />
