Nanostructured Metals and Alloys: Processing, Microstructure, Mechanical Properties and Applications (Woodhead Publishing Series in Metals and Surface Engineering)

Tensile strength, fatigue strength and ductility are important properties of nanostructured metallic materials, which make them suitable for use in applications where strength or strength-to-weight ratios are important. Nanostructured metals and alloys reviews the latest technologies used for production of these materials, as well as recent advances in research into their structure and mechanical properties. One of the most important issues facing nanostructured metals and alloys is how to produce them. Part 1 describes the different methods used to process bulk nanostructured metals and alloys, including chapters on severe plastic deformation, mechanical alloying and electrodeposition among others. Part 2 concentrates on the microstructure and properties of nanostructured metals, with chapters studying deformation structures such as twins, microstructure of ferrous alloys by equal channel angular processing, and characteristic structures of nanostructured metals prepared by plastic deformation. In part 3, the mechanical properties of nanostructured metals and alloys are discussed, with chapters on such topics as strengthening mechanisms, nanostructured metals based on molecular dynamics computer simulations, and surface deformation. Part 4 focuses on existing and developing applications of nanostructured metals and alloys, covering topics such as nanostructured steel for automotives, steel sheet and nanostructured coatings by spraying. front-matter......Page 1 1 Producing bulk nanostructured metals and alloys by severe plastic deformation (SPD)......Page 36 2 Bulk nanostructured metals and alloys produced by accumulative roll-bonding......Page 73 3 Nanocrystalline metals and alloys prepared by mechanical attrition......Page 92 4 The processing of nanocrystalline steels by solid reaction......Page 118 5 The processing of bulk nanocrystalline metals and alloys by electrodeposition......Page 151 6 Bulk nanocrystalline and nanocomposite alloys produced from amorphous phase......Page 185 7 Severe plastic deformation and the production of nanostructured alloys by machining......Page 211 8 Deformation structures including twins in nanograined pure metals......Page 244 9 Microstructure and mechanical properties of nanostructured low-carbon steel prepared by equal-channel angular pressing......Page 274 10 Characteristic structures and properties of nanostructured metals prepared by plastic deformation......Page 307 11 Strengthening mechanisms in nanocrystalline metals......Page 327 12 Elastic and plastic deformation in nanocrystalline metals......Page 357 13 The mechanical properties of multi-scale metallic materials......Page 403 14 Enhanced ductility and its mechanisms in nanocrystalline metallic materials......Page 458 15 The mechanical behavior of nanostructured metals based on molecular dynamics computer simulations......Page 487 16 The surface deformation and mechanical behavior of nanostructured alloys......Page 509 17 Fatigue behaviour in nanostructured metals......Page 535 18 Superplastic deformation in nanocrystalline metals and alloys......Page 570 19 Creep and high-temperature deformation in nanostructured metals and alloys......Page 622 20 Processing nanostructured metal and metal-matrix coatings by thermal and cold spraying......Page 640 21 Nanocoatings for commercial and industrial applications......Page 688 22 Applying nanostructured steel sheets to automotive body structures......Page 712 23 Production processes for nanostructured wires, bars and strips......Page 740 24 Nanostructured plain carbon-manganese (C-Mn) steel sheets prepared by ultra-fast cooling and short interval multi-pass hot rolling......Page 772 back-matter......Page 812 Tensile strength, fatigue strength and ductility are important properties of nanostructured metallic materials, which make them suitable for use in applications where strength or strength-to-weight ratios are important.
