Synopsis

Nanostructured metals and alloys have enhanced tensile strength, fatigue strength and ductility and are suitable for use in applications where strength or strength-to-weight ratios are important. Part 1 of this important book reviews processing techniques for bulk nanostructured metals and alloys. Parts 2 and 3 discuss microstructure and mechanical properties, whilst part 4 outlines applications of this new class of material.

Key Features: summarises the materials science and physics of all the most important high temperature superconductors as well as discussing material growth, properties and applications; explores fundamental characteristics of high temperature superconductors and high TC films such as deposition technologies and optical conductivity; reviews the various applications of high temperature superconductors, from Josephson junctons and dc-superconductive quantum inference devices (dc-SQUIDs) to microwave filters.

Contents: Part 1 Processing of bulk nanostructured metals and alloys: Production of bulk nanostructured metals and alloys by severe plastic deformation (SPD); Bulk nanostructured metals and alloys produced by accumulative roll-bonding; Nanocrystalline metals and alloys prepared by mechanical attrition; Processing of nanostructured steels by solid reaction; Processing of bulk nanocrystalline metals and alloys by electrodeposition; Bulk nanocrystalline and nanocomposite alloys produced from amorphous phase; Severe plastic deformation and production of nanostructured alloys by machining. Part 2 Microstructure: Deformation structures including twins in nanograined pure metals; Microstructure and mechanical properties of nanostructured ferrous alloys by equal-channel angular pressing; Characteristic structures and properties of nanostructured metals prepared by plastic deformation. Part 3 Mechanical properties: Strengthening mechanisms in nanocrystalline metals; Elastic and plastic deformation in nanocrystalline metals; Mechanical properties of multi-scale metallic materials; Enhanced ductility and its mechanisms in nanocrystalline metallic materials; Mechanical behavior of nanostructured metals based on molecular dynamics computer simulations; Surface deformation and mechanical behaviour of nanostructured alloys; Fatigue behaviour in nanostructured metals; Superplastic deformation in nanocrystalline metals and alloys; Creep and high temperature deformation in nanostructured metals and alloys. Part 4 Applications: Processing of nanostructured metal and metal-matrix coatings by thermal and cold spraying; Nanocoatings for commercial and industrial applications; Application of nanostructured steel sheets to automotive body structures; Production processes for nanostructured wires, bars and strips; Nanostructured plain carbon-manganese (C-Mn) steel sheets by ultra-fast cooling and short interval multi-pass hot rolling.
