A novel metal-matrix composite, in which a soft Al-matrix is strengthened by hard and inert Pt-particles was obtained. Severe plastic deformation and large shear strain implemented under HPT lead to the formation of solid solutions and the amorphization on the interfaces.

After the LEHCEB treatment, the corrosion resistance of the coatings increased significantly, as evidenced by the decrease in corrosion current and the increase in polarization resistance. In addition, the bond strength of the coatings also increased, as evidenced by the increase in critical load from 9.9 to 19.2 N.

Variations of measured disorientations distinctly increase at too high scanning steps owing to the contribution of interfacial GND. Accordingly, to derive SSD density from a slope of disorientation dependence on the scanning step, the latter is properly limited.
