Abstract

Microstructural changes in nanocrystalline materials are driven by their high grain boundary density and greater mobility at elevated temperatures. For instance, segregation, precipitation, and grain growth become active as the temperature increases. The potential of nanometallic multilayers as a route to synthesize nanostructures is explored examining the microstructural evolution of Hf-Ti nanometallic multilayers through differential scanning calorimetry and characterization at different temperatures. Thermodynamic and kinetic calculations were performed to understand the observed transitions. This study presents a guide to microstructural changes in nanometallic multilayers which can be used to develop new nanocrystalline systems.
