Current developments in kinetic and thermodynamic stabilization of grains in nanostructured
metals, alloys, and compounds are generalized and discussed in detail. As applied to the …

As nanocrystalline (NC) materials exhibit many unique properties, which are often superior
to the properties of their coarse-grained counterparts, they offer significant potential for use …

Grain boundary segregation provides a method for stabilization of nanocrystalline metals—
an alloying element that will segregate to the boundaries can lower the grain boundary …

Nanocrystalline (NC) metals suffer from an intrinsic thermal instability; their crystalline grains
undergo rapid coarsening during processing treatments or under service conditions. Grain …

Mitigating grain growth at high temperatures in binary nanocrystalline alloys is important for
processing nanocrystalline alloy systems. The objective of this research is to develop a …

In this study, a novel dispersion-strengthened copper-tungsten alloy with improved
mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, and thermal stability was prepared by …

Abstract Nanostructured Cu–Ta alloys have shown promise as high-strength nanocrystalline
materials in part due to their limited grain growth at high temperatures. In the present study …

It is a new beginning for innovative fundamental and applied science in nanocrystalline
materials. Many of the processing and consolidation challenges that have haunted …

Abstract Single-phase Al–Mg alloys processed by severe plastic deformation (SPD) usually
suffer from unsatisfactory thermal stability at moderate to high temperatures with …

Grain refinement to the nanocrystalline regime is the most effective way to strengthen
materials but this often deteriorates the grain-size thermal stability and plasticity. Here we …
