Books by Keyword: Ultrafine Grained

Description: The deformation-processing of advanced materials having ultrafine- or nano-structures, and therefore significantly improved properties, has developed into one of the most promising frontiers of materials science and technology. The present 35 peer-reviewed papers cover many aspects of Nanomaterials and Plastic Deformation and will provide a succinct introduction to the subject.

The 200 peer-reviewed articles in this “Nanomaterials by Severe Plastic Deformation” special collection are a convincing demonstration of the relevance of bulk ultrafine grained and nanostructured materials, produced by severe plastic deformation, to a wide range of researchers and engineers., The total number of articles in this edition, larger than that in the 2008 edition, shows that this community is, in fact, growing. The coverage includes all aspects of NanoSPD: Principles of SPD Processing, Microstructural Evolution and Grain Refinement, Mechanical Properties of SPD Materials, Functional and other Properties of SPD Materials, Innovation and Applications.

Strength and ductility are two of the most important mechanical properties of structural materials, but this usually involves a trade-off, because of the fundamental inverse proportionality of these two features. Since the 1980s, bulk nanostructured materials have emerged as a new class of material having unusual structures and, as a result, have attracted increasing attention. Unfortunately, most bulk nanostructured materials still do not evade the strength-ductility trade-off dilemma, and usually have very poor ductility. The poor ductility of bulk nanostructured materials has indeed become a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to the widespread technological application of structural bulk nanostructured materials.

Description: Nanostructured materials, in which the structural features (e.g., grains and/or domains separated by low-angle grain boundaries) are smaller than 100nm in at least one dimension, have attracted worldwide research interest for more than a decade because of their unique properties. For example, the combination of high strength with high ductility has been reported for some nanostructured metals and alloys: this is a rare, if not impossible, combination of mechanical properties for coarse-grained metals and alloys. Among the many techniques available for producing nanostructured materials, severe plastic deformation (SPD) is the most popular and most rapidly developing one.

Description: Recrystallization and grain-growth, together with phase transformations, are the fundamental processes of microstructural evolution which occur during the thermomechanical treatment of engineering materials.

Description: Metastable and Nanocrystalline Materials offer enormous technological potential and, for this reason, they are the subject of intense world-wide research.
Among the various topics covered in the present volume are the synthesis and processing of materials using mechanical alloying, grinding, mechanosynthesis and mechanochemistry; the structural characterisation of nanophase materials and the structural evolution caused by mechanical treatments; the magnetic and mechanical properties of nanocrystalline materials; and the basic mechanisms of fabrication processes.
