## Abstract

Difference dilatometry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) are used to investigate defect annealing in ultrafine grained nickel processed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at various temperatures. Different defect types and processes such as vacancies, dislocations, grain boundaries and grain-boundary relaxation can be detected. They can be distinguished due to their distinct kinetics as revealed by the release of excess volume and excess heat during linear heating. The data are quantified in combination with a detailed characterization of the microstructure. Values for the absolute vacancy concentration, the dislocation density, the grain boundary expansion and the excess of grain boundary expansion in ECAP-processed nickel are derived.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
