A porosity-free and contamination-free surface layer with grain sizes ranging from nanometer to micrometer in Fe samples was obtained by surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) technique. Mechanical and wear properties of the surface layer in the SMATed and annealed Fe samples were measured by means of nanoindentation and nanoscratch tests, respectively. Experimental results showed that the hardness of the surface layer in the SMATed Fe sample increased evidently due to the grain refinement. The elastic moduli of the surface layers in the SMATed and annealed Fe samples were unchanged, independent of grain size in the present grain size regime. Compared with the original Fe sample, the wear resistance enhanced and the coefficient of friction decreased in the surface layer of the SMATed Fe sample.

The behavior of gaseous nitriding on the surface nanocrystallized (SNCed) steel was investigated.The mild steel discs were SNCed on one side by using the method of ultrasonic shot peening. The opposite side of the discs maintained the original coarse-grained condition. The gaseous nitriding was subsequently carried out at three different temperatures: 460,500 and 560°C. The compound layer growth and diffusion behavior were then studied. It was revealed that SNC pretreatment greatly enhances both diffusion coefficient D and surface reaction rate. As a result, nitriding time could be reduced to the half.It was also found that the growth of compound layer with nitriding time conformed with parabolic relationship from the start of nitriding process in the SNCed samples.

The pure α-Ti samples were heated at an extremely high rate (~106 K/s) to the temperature of β phase zone followed by a rapidly quenching in an electro-pulsing treatment. After the treatment, micrometer-thick lamellar substructures were generated within the original equiaxed α-Ti coarse grains. Misorientations across adjacent lamellae are of a few degrees. The ultrafine lamellar substructures originated from a non-equilibrium α-β-α' phase transformation during rapidly heating-quenching process with a short exposure time at high temperatures. Tensile strength was increased by about 100 MPa due to the formation of the ultrafine lamellar substructure while the same tensile plasticity (elongation-to-failure) was maintained relative to the original sample. The strengthening effect could be attributed to the effective blockage of dislocation motions by a high density of sub-boundaries.

While some superior properties of nanostructured materials (with structural scales below 100 nm) have attracted numerous interests of material scientists, technique development for synthesizing nanostructured metals and alloys in 3-dimensional (3D) bulk forms is still challenging despite of extensive investigations over decades. Here we report a novel synthesis technique for bulk nanostructured metals based on plastic deformation at high Zener-Hollomon parameters (high strain rates or low temperatures), i.e., dynamic plastic deformation (DPD). The basic concept behind this approach will be addressed together with a few examples to demonstrate the capability and characteristics of this method. Perspectives and future developments of this technique will be highlighted.
