| Abstract Scope |
The manufacture of nano-crystalline metal powders is an enabling route to the formation of unique bulk alloy materials. Historically, many of these powders have only been demonstrated in batch processes at the bench scale, up to roughly 1 kg. We have made engineering improvements to large scale equipment to enable the production of lots greater than 20 kg, resulting in powder volumes allowing for industrial manufacture of components and stock in commercially useful amounts. The results of the subsequent processing demonstrate the economic viability of new, MA produced alloys as well as the potential to manufacture true, bulk, microstructurally stable nano-grained metal articles. |
