Nickel is a key material in modern technologies due to its application versatility, and specific but important properties such as low thermal and electrical conductivities, excellent strength and toughness at elevated temperatures and high resistance to corrosion and oxidation.
Ferro-nickel can be a main alloying agent in stainless steel production and among others a main process of granulation of FeNi is GRANSHOT developed by a group based at Uddeholm in Sweden.

Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP): Part One
ECAP is one of the most commonly employed severe plastic deformation process to drive nano or ultrafine grained microstructure at low homologous temperatures.
ECAP is most suitable for materials used in industrial scale application, the process works by introducing a large shear strain by repeated extrusion steps.
