Additional grain boundary strengthening in length-scale architectured copper with ultrafine and coarse domains [PDF]
The strength of polycrystals is known to increase with decreasing grain size, known as Hall-Petch effect. However, this relationship fails to predict the strength of samples with a non-uniform distribution of grain sizes.

Thermal stability of the microstructure of severely deformed copper [PDF]
Copper specimens were deformed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) up to 8 passes. The microstructure was studied by X-ray line profile analysis. The crystallite size is reduced to a few tens of nanometers even after the first ECAP pass and it does ...

Improving the balance of strength and toughness in structural materials is an ongoing challenge. Delamination and grain refinement are some of the methods used to do this. In this paper, two different steels, 0.15% C–0.3% Si–1.5% Mn–Fe and 0.4% C–2% Si–1%

The mechanical behaviour of an ultrafine grained Ti-47Al-2Cr (at%) alloy in tension and compression and at different temperatures [PDF]
A bulk ultrafine grained (UFG) Ti-47Al-2Cr (at%) alloy has been produced using a powder metallurgy process that combines high energy mechanical milling (HEMM) of a mixture of Ti, Al and Cr powders to produce a Ti/Al/Cr composite powder and hot isostatic ...

Helium bubble formation in ultrafine and nanocrystalline tungsten under different extreme conditions [PDF]
We have investigated the effects of helium ion irradiation energy and sample temperature on the performance of grain boundaries as helium sinks in ultrafine grained and nanocrystalline tungsten.

Thermal Stability and Mechanical Properties of Al-Zn and Al-Bi-Zn Alloys Deformed by ECAP
It is well known that ultrafine grained and nanocrystalline materials show enhanced strength, while they are susceptible to thermally induced grain coarsening.

High-temperature mechanical behavior of polycrystalline yttrium-doped barium cerate perovskite [PDF]
The high-temperature mechanical properties of the mixed ionic-electronic conductor perovskite BaCe0.95Y0.05O3-δ with average grain size of 0.40μm have been studied in compression between 1100 and 1300°C in air at different initial strain rates.
