Objective
In the present project, partners from Grenoble, Cambridge and Ulm will join four partners from Russia and the Ukraine in order to contribute to advanced development of high performance bulk nanostructured alloys using the recent methods of severe plastic deformation (SPD) developed by the team of Professor R. Valiev in Ufa.
The objectives of the present project are the processing, structural characterisation and investigation of mechanical, thermophysical and magnetic properties of bulk nanostructured alloys resulting from severe plastic deformation, as well as the demonstration of the possibility of their practical applications.
In this perspective, the following research efforts are planned:
To process bulk metastable nanostructured alloys with a non-equilibrium structure of abnormally supersaturated solid solutions (Ti, Fe and Al-based alloys) and metastable disordered intermetallics (Fe and Ni-based) by using methods of severe plastic deformation (SPD) and their combinations with methods of rapid solidification and ball milling.
To perform structural characterisation of the processed alloys by optical, SEM, TEM/HREM microscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and Mössbauer spectroscopy, as well as magnetic phase analysis
To investigate the evolution of microstructure and phase transformations in nanostructured non-equilibrium alloys during heating over a wide temperature interval and isothermal holding.
To conduct complex investigations of mechanical, thermal, physical and magnetic properties of the processed materials in as-prepared and annealed states
To establish the relationship between structural features and extraordinary mechanical properties (very high tensile and fatigue strength and plasticity at room temperature, low temperature and high strain rate superplasticity) and magnetic effects (enhanced coercivity and remanence) in SPD processed materials for developing their processing guideline.
Property achievement targets are as follows:
a) in Ti and Al-based alloys: high strength states with ultimate tensile stress of 1800 MPa (Ti-6Al-4V) and 900 MPa (Al-Fe) and acceptable ductility;
b) in intermetallics: enhanced ductility of 5% at room temperature and low temperature superplasticity;
c) in magnetic Nd2Fe14B-based alloy: coercivity of 2200 kA/m and remanence of 1T%;L
d) in high carbon steel: microhardness of 12GPa and high level of wear resistance;
e) in shape memory Ti-Ni alloys: ultimate strength of 1800-2000MPa with ductility of 80%.
Collective research results will be published in joint scientific papers and presented at international conferences. In parallel, the results will be disseminated to more than a dozen companies from the EU and the NIS states.
