Developing age-hardenable Al-Zr alloy by ultra-severe plastic deformation: Significance of supersaturation, segregation and precipitation on hardening and electrical conductivity

TL;DR: The aluminum-zirconium (Al-Zr) alloys are of interest because of their superior thermal stability and good electrical conuctivity, but their main drawback is their rather low hardness as mentioned in this paper.

Alloy design by dislocation engineering

TL;DR: In this paper, a new alloy design concept based on dislocation length scale, namely dislocation engineering, is illustrated in the present work, which has been successfully substantiated by the design and fabrication of a deformed and partitioned (D&P) steel with a yield strength of 2.2 GPa and an uniform elongation of 16%.

Ultrahigh strength and high electrical conductivity in copper

TL;DR: Pure copper samples with a high density of nanoscale growth twins are synthesized and show a tensile strength about 10 times higher than that of conventional coarse-grained copper, while retaining an electrical conductivity comparable to that of pure copper.

Revealing the Maximum Strength in Nanotwinned Copper

TL;DR: The maximum strength of nanotwinned copper samples with different twin thicknesses is investigated, finding that the strength increases with decreasing twin thickness, reaching a maximum at 15 nanometers, followed by a softening at smaller values that is accompanied by enhanced strain hardening and tensile ductility.

Extreme grain refinement by severe plastic deformation: A wealth of challenging science

TL;DR: A brief overview of the available SPD technologies is given in this paper, along with a summary of unusual mechanical, physical and other properties achievable by SPD processing, as well as the challenges this research is facing, some of them generic and some specific to the nanoSPD area.

Deformation Twinning in Nanocrystalline Aluminum

TL;DR: Transmission electron microscope observations that provide evidence of deformation twinning in plastically deformed nanocrystalline aluminum underscore a transition from deformation mechanisms controlled by normal slip to those controlled by partial dislocation activity when grain size decreases to tens of nanometers, and they have implications for interpreting the unusual mechanical behavior of nanocrystaline materials.
