Keeping Nanocrystalline Alloy Grains Small

Nanocrystalline alloys are metals with grain sizes smaller than 100 nm. These tiny grains can give the material enhanced physical and mechanical properties. That is why nanocrystalline alloys are used or studied for semiconductor devices, biosensors, and aerospace parts.

A major challenge is maki...

Nanocrystalline alloys are in high demand in industries such as semiconductor, biosensors and aerospace due to their enhanced physical and mechanical properties. Alloys with grain size less than 100 nanometers are known as nanocrystalline alloys.

To produce produce industrial parts with these alloys, nanocrystalline powders are processed u...
