The changes in structure and phase composition of an ultrafine-grained aluminum alloy produced by severe plastic deformation are investigated in the course of its tensile deformation under superplasticity conditions. It is demonstrated that under these conditions, the phase transformations due to decomposition of the solid solution are accelerated in the subsurface layer as a result of fast evolution of grain-boundary sliding. Using the grazing beam technique, it is found out that the largest changes in the structural-phase state occur within the ~10 μm subsurface layer.
