reportTechnologies to produce bulk nanostructured metals In this
report we provide information on the processing technologies
that could potentially be used in the automotive and aeronautics
industry to produce nanostructured metals and alloys. The
nanostructured metals and alloys considered are aluminium,
magnesium and titanium. The report introduces the following
techniques used to produce nanostructure metals: severe plastic
deformation (SPD), nanopowder sintering, melt spinning and
electrodeposition. Most of the techniques presented in this
report are used mainly in lab-scale production for now. Very few
exceptions where there have been final products are for small
parts like bolt or screws used in the automotive or aeronautics
industries. For their use in structural applications in the
industrial scale, these novel materials have to be obtained in
bulk forms with large dimensions, often in large volumes and
always with competitive costs compared with the current
solutions. Technically it is not possible
