AME Department Seminar
Wed, Jan 18, 2012 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Prof. Andrea M. Hodge, Department of Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089, USA
Talk Title: The Search for Stable Nanostructured Materials
Abstract: Highly nanotwinned (nt) metals have shown a strength comparable to nanocrystalline metals, while maintaining other desired properties including ductility, conductivity, and thermal stability. However, the deformation mechanisms and mechanical stability of the nt metals is not yet fully understood. Therefore in this presentation, results from highly aligned nt-Cu samples tested in compression, torsion, and tension under various loading/testing conditions relative to the twin boundary (TB) direction will be presented. The microstructures of the tested samples were analyzed before and after deformation for each loading configuration in order to study the stability of the nanotwins.
In all testing configurations, the nt structure was observed to be mostly stable, in which, to a significant extent, the nanotwins survived without major changes in twin size, orientation, or twin density. However, distinct differences in the overall deformation of the samples and in the extent of the changes were observed. Elevated temperature stability will also be discussed.
