“…Binary solid solutions in three different immiscible systems, consisting of ferromagnetic (either Co or Fe) and diamagnetic (either Cu or Ag) components, were synthesized by HPT in Refs. 59,60). In the CoCu alloys with medium compositions, deformation induced mixing of the immiscible elements and single phase ferromagnetic FCC solid solutions were obtained.…”

Heavy plastic shear deformation at relatively low homologous temperatures is called high-pressure torsion (HPT) deformation, which is one method of severe plastic deformation (SPD). The aim of the paper is to give an overview of a new processing approach which permits the generation of innovative metastable materials and novel nanocomposites by HPT deformation. Starting materials can be either coarse-grained multi-phase alloys, a mixture of different elemental powders or any other combination of multiphase solid starting materials. After HPT processing, the achievable microstructures are similar to the ones generated by mechanical alloying. Nevertheless, one advantage of the HPT process is that bulk samples of the different types of metastable materials and nanocomposites are obtained directly during HPT deformation. It will be shown that different material combinations can be selected and materials with tailored properties, or in other words, materials designed for specific applications and the thus required properties, can be synthesized. Areas of application for these new materials range from hydrogen storage to materials resistant to harsh radiation environments.

“…Studies on the fundamental behavior [1], mechanical properties [2], and possible industrial applications [3] of nanocrystalline materials are wide-spread in the literature. Among of the promising materials in this class are supersaturated solid solution nanocrystalline alloys, e.g., Co-Cu alloy, the microstructure and phase distribution of which can be modified by annealing treatments, to enhance thermal and mechanical stability, as well as tailoring physical properties [4,5]. Investigations into the thermal stability and microstructure evolution of nanocrystalline Co-Cu have been performed in previous works, mostly at temperatures beyond 400 • C [6][7][8], but more research about microstructural changes at lower temperatures is required.…”

Thick films of supersaturated solid solution nanocrystalline Co-Cu (28 at.% Cu) were synthesized through the pulsed electrodeposition technique. Microstructural changes of nanocrystalline Co-Cu were intensively studied at various annealing temperatures. Annealing at 300 °C results in a spinodal decomposition within the individual grains, with no grain coarsening. On the other hand, distinct phase separation of Co-Cu is detected at annealing temperatures beyond 400 °C. Static micro-bending tests show that the nanocrystalline Co-Cu alloy exhibits a very high yield strength and ductile behavior, with no crack formation. Static micro-bending tests also reported that a large plastic deformation is observed, but no microstructure change is detected. On the other hand, observation on the fatigue resistance of nanocrystalline Co-Cu shows that grain coarsening is observed after conducting the cyclic micro-bending test.

“…The microstructure of as-deformed samples typically exhibits grain sizes in the nanocrystalline regime. First, investigations regarding magnetic tunability have been carried out on HPT-processed Co 26 wt.%-Cu, showing large deviations in the saturation behaviour of the as-deformed state with respect to bulk hcp-Co [10]. Further investigations revealed the sensitivity of the magnetic properties, such as coercivity and remanence, on the processing parameters as well as the influence of subsequent annealing treatments as the microstructure and elemental distribution could change.…”

Samples consisting of one ferromagnetic and one diamagnetic component which are immiscible at the thermodynamic equilibrium (Co-Cu, Fe-Cu, Fe-Ag) are processed by high-pressure torsion at various compositions. The received microstructures are investigated by electron microscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction, showing a microstructural saturation. Results gained from microstructural investigations are correlated to magnetometry data. The Co-Cu samples show mainly ferromagnetic behavior and a decrease in coercivity with increasing Co-content. The saturation microstructure of Fe-Cu samples is found to be dual phase. Results of magnetic measurements also revealed the occurrence of two different magnetic phases in this system. For Fe-Ag, the microstructural and magnetic results indicate that no intermixing between the elemental phases takes place.
