Effects of substructural dimensions on the mechanical properties of micro-pins produced by an open-die micro-extrusion/forging process were studied. Micro-pins of diameter 0.3 mm were manufactured from copper strips, having different initial grain sizes. Micro-compression tests on the micro-pins rev...
