How to toughen up nanocrystalline metals

How to toughen up nanocrystalline metals

October 26, 2016 ramjitti Technology Update, Uncategorized

Brittle nanocrystalline metals can be made ultrastrong and tough by firing them at extremely high speeds onto a hard target, according to new experiments on silver microcubes by researchers at Rice University and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. The impact produces an extreme gradient-nano-grained (GNG) structure in the microcubes that has a grain size varying from nanocrystalline to coarse-grained and it is this variation that makes the material both strong and tough. The work could lead to new techniques for creating GNG-structured metals that do not mechanically fail, like those needed in aircraft and spacecraft for example………
