Abstract
The nanocrystalline surface was obtained on bulk pure nickel by using high-current pulsed electron beam (HCPEB) technique. The temperature field induced by HCPEB was numerically simulated. The structures of the nanocrystallized surface were characterized by scanning electron beam (SEM), which showed that after HCPEB irradiation, the initial coarse-grained structure on the surface was refined into fine grains with sizes of about 70nm. It was revealed that melting surface caused by HCPEB irradiation and subsequently rapid cooling was the dominant mechanism of the surface nanocrystallization of bulk nickel. The HCPEB technique provides a new method for rapid fabricating surface-nanocrystallized materials.
