IDEA #4FKU0E New Methods Of Production Of Nanostructured Monolithic Metals

NEW METHODS OOFF PRODUCTION OOFF NANOSTRUCTURED MONOLITHIC METALS NANOTECHNOLOGY • RESEARCHOONN NANOSTRUCTURESDescription Residual porosity and unchecked pollution of powders during their condensation causes need of development of new meth(cid:2) ods of formation the nanostructured state in monolithic met(cid:2) als and alloys.The most effective directions in this field are the equal(cid:2)channel angular extrusion (ECAE) and hydroextrusion. As a rule, hydroextrusion is carrying out at room temperature, while ECAE is realizing at elevated temperatures. However, at room and elevated temperatures the processes of dynamical relaxation take place. That sets a principal limit to the defect density attained during deformation and, therefore, degree of the structure dispersion. It explains the search of possibility of the deformation of materials at deep cooling. At different time plastic deformation by tension, rolling, and drawing were real(cid:2) ized at cryogenic temperatures. Under these conditions the processes of dynamical relaxation are depressed. However, due to specific character of geometry of acting forces harden(cid:2) ing is accompanied by a drastic reduction of plasticity and appearance of a plenty of microcracks. The task of obtaining of high(cid:2)strength nanostructured materi(cid:2) als but without tendency to brittle failure may be solved by combining effect of all(cid:2)round compression precluded to appearance of tensile stresses and factor of deep cooling. Depression of the dynamical relaxation was ensured by the pressing of metal through a matrix at low temperature with use as the pressure the plastic transmission medium. Treatment based on this technology insures obtaining of dis(cid:2) persion of material structure at the level of 100 nm and less, which improves their exploitation characteristics. Its level, however, depends on geometry of treated blanks and degree of deformation during treatment, which makes difficulties for control of the structure characteristics, the obtaining in advance given parameters and limits the upper level of mate(cid:2) rial dispersion. This problem was solved by application forces of opposite pressure, which level is controlled. Innovative Aspect and Main Advantages Processing of metals in conditions deep cooling at all(cid:2)round compression is know how of KIPT, this method is protected by several patents and allows to receive such level of thermally steady hardening which known ways of deformation of metals do not allow to obtain.
