Ultrafine-Grained High Strength Cu-Ni-Si Alloys

HIGH-STRENGTH NANOCRYSTALLINE Ni-W ALLOYS PRODUCED BY ELECTRODEPOSITION

Nanocrystalline Ni-W alloys having both high ductility and high strength were produced by electrodeoisition. The plating bath for the electrodeposition contained nickel sulfate, citric acid, sodium tungstate and ammonium chloride, and was operated at various bath concentrations and conditions of electrolysis. The ductility and tensile strength of the deposited alloys are strongly influenced by ...

Microalloying Ultrafine Grained Al Alloys with Enhanced Ductility

Bulk ultrafine grained (UFG)/nanocrystal metals possess exceptional strength but normally poor ductility and thermal stability, which hinder their practical applications especially in high-temperature environments. Through microalloying strategy that enables the control of grains and precipitations in nanostructured regime, here we design and successfully produce a highly microstructure-stable ...

Corrosion resistance of Si-Al-bearing ultrafine-grained weathering steel.

In the Ultra-steel project at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), which run from 1996 to 2005, high-Si-Al-content ultrafine-grained (UFG) weathering steel was developed by grain refinement and weathering guidance. It was found that this steel has excellent strength, toughness and corrosion resistance. Samples were prepared by multi pass warm rolling at temperatures between 773 ...

Mechanical Strength and Biocompatibility of Ultrafine-Grained Commercial Purity Titanium

The effect of grain refinement of commercial purity titanium by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) on its mechanical performance and bone tissue regeneration is reported. In vivo studies conducted on New Zealand white rabbits did not show an enhancement of biocompatibility of ECAP-modified titanium found earlier by in vitro testing. However, the observed combination of outstanding mechanical...
