Recent Studies of Surface Self-Nanocrystallization (SSNC) of Metallic Materials

Abstract:

Surface self-nanocrystallization (SSNC) is a new surface modification technology to develop new materials, which can obtain nanostructured layers with nanograins on the metals surface without changing the chemical composition of the metals. In this study, SSNC was introduced from the aspects of the preparation methods, microstructural mechanism, mechanical properties, surface roughness, corrosion resistance and applications. This paper will provide experience and reference for further comprehensive researches and industrial applications of SSNC.
