Model experiments for direct visualization of grain boundary deformation in nanocrystalline metals

Applied Physics Letters (2003)

Abstract

Recent experimental studies on nanocrystalline metals have shown that mechanical strength may decrease with decreasing grain size d for d7 nm) to localized grain boundary migration (d<7 nm). Thus, these data suggest that both the onset and mechanisms of plasticity in nanocrystalline materials change markedly below a critical grain size. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
