“…More details on the fundamentals and applications of HPT processing and the historical development is given in other reports [31][32][33]. Several modified HPT processing methods were proposed over the last decade such as highpressure tube twisting (HPTT) [34], tube high-pressure shearing (t-HPS) [35,36], highpressure-double-torsion (HPDT) [34], high-pressure sliding (HPS) [37], reversal high pressure torsion (RHPT) [38] and high pressure compressive shearing (HPCS) [39] in order to provide solutions to the limitations of HPT processing such as the inhomogeneity of the shear strain across the disc radius or the smallness of the sample [40]. Recently, it was demonstrated that HPT processing is an excellent tool for the consolidation of metal powders [41][42][43] and for fabricating hybrid systems in order to ultimately obtain metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs) such as Al-Mg [44][45][46], Al-Cu [47] and Zn-Mg [48].…”
