A means annealing (annealing temperatures and its duration are given in parentheses), HE means “hot” extrusion at the temperature 795 K, D means drawing at room temperature, CD means cyclic deformation at room temperature, CE means cryoextrusion at 77 K, and is the coefficient of variation, characterizing homogeneity of a grain-size distribution. In parentheses, the values of the “true” plastic deformation e are presented (Section 2 in the text).
