- Title
Metals and Alloys Nanostructured by Severe Plastic Deformation: Commercialization Pathways.
- Authors
Lowe, Terry C.
- Abstract
Severe plastic deformation, which refines grain size and introduces nanoscale features in metals and alloys, offers the prospect of enhancing metal properties beyond the levels otherwise attainable. It allows stable deformation to larger strains than mast conventional metal-forming methods, thereby increasing the degree of strengthening possible. Before a process can be commercialized, it must be established that there are significant market drivers. Once those drivers are established, an array of factors must be considered that can impede or augment commercialization. This work will introduce four of these: competition from other materials, appropriability, maturity of design paradigm, and distribution of complementary assets.
