Resumo

Nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained materials are commonly known as materials with extraordinary mechanical properties. High Pressure Torsion (HPT) is a simple and effective severe plastic deformation method to produce these ultrafine grained or even nanocrystalline microstructures. However, at a certain applied strain no further refinement of the microstructure occurs. In this work, a strategy to bypass this limitation in the grain refinement and a way to generate stable nanocrystallites using HPT deformation are presented. Initial micrometrer-sized powders are oxidized by an annealing treatment and subsequently HPT-consolidated until a fully dense bulk material is obtained. This processing route offers an easy way to produce bulk nanocrystalline metal matrix composites with nanometre-sized oxide dispersions. The incorporated oxides have a huge impact on the final microstructure, as well as on the mechanical properties and the thermal stability of the consolidated material.
