Abstract

The structure of Ni-Cu alloys processed by high pressure torsion by 5 revolutions at room temperature (saturation stage) has been studied by the methods of transmission electron microscopy and microhardness measurements. It is demonstrated that moving from copper possessing lower melting temperature and lower stacking fault energy (SFE) to nickel the melting temperature and SFE of which are considerably higher, the submicrocrystalline structure of alloys is markedly refined (by about a factor of 2), whereas the microhardness increases by more than 1.5 times. The simultaneous effect of two factors (changing of homological temperature and SFE) results in the non-linear dependence of these parameters (crystallite sizes and microhardness) on alloy composition.
