The effects of high-pressure torsion on biomedical Co–Cr–Mo alloy were investigated.
HPT processing causes γ→ε martensitic transformation in Co–Cr–Mo alloy.
Grain refinement of Co–Cr–Mo alloy occurs into the nanometer level.
Strength of Co–Cr–Mo alloy increases with the effect of high-pressure torsion.
Hardness of Co–Cr–Mo alloy also increases with the effect of high-pressure torsion.
