STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF ULTRAFINE-GRAINED / AMORPHOUS METALLIC MATERIALS

NANOCRYSTALLINE MULTIPHASE METAL WIRES * ULTRAFINE-GRAINED METAL SHEETS * NANOCRYSTALLINE UP TO AMORPHOUS METAL COMPOSITES

Contents:

Fabrication and characterization of advanced multicomponent materials (metals, metal alloys) for function-integrated light weight construction. Based on structure and microstructure these materials possess a higher specific strength and a good ductility compared to conventional metals. Moreover, they are significantly lighter, thus contributing to resource conservation and weight reduction.

Objectives:

• Fabrication of ultrafine-grained up to amorphous sheets, tapes, wires and bulk samples with highest specific strength, good ductility and toughness
• Analysis of the influence of the different phases and microstructures, their structural lengths and interfaces as well as the degree of anisotropy on the macro mechanical behavior
