Abstract
The 7th International Conference on Nanomaterials by Severe Plastic Deformation (NanoSPD7) is hosted by the University of Sydney (Australia) following a series of earlier conferences: in Moscow (1999), Vienna (2002), Fukuoka (2005), Goslar (2008), Nanjing (2011) and Metz (2014). This introductory paper reports on several major developments in NanoSPD activities as well as on recent NanoSPD citation data which illustrate the growth and expansion of this important research area for the time period following the conference in Metz. Close attention is given to topics of nanostructuring of metals by SPD processing for advanced properties and on new trends in developing SPD techniques for practical applications. A special concern of the committee is the appropriate terminology that is used in this new field of science and engineering as well as the innovation potential of recent applied studies and developments.
Highlights
In recent years there has been growing interest in bulk nanostructured materials produced by severe plastic deformation (SPD) processing, as demonstrated by the increasing numbers of publications with high citations as well as numerous specialized conferences, workshops and symposia on the subject
These conferences have been held all over the world, starting in 1999 (Moscow, Russia) and continuing in 2002 (Vienna, Austria), 2005 (Fukuoka, Japan), 2008 (Goslar, Germany), 2011 (Nanjing, China), 2014 (Metz, France) and in Sydney, Australia. This latest meeting offers even more stimulus for scientific and applied research and summarizes the important events related to NanoSPD and to the activities of the International NanoSPD Steering Committee
This introductory report is designed to present a summary of the main results that have occurred in NanoSPD over the last three years since our meeting in Metz, France, in 2014 with its record-breaking 428 participants from 42 different countries and to discuss the important achievements and provide a performance summary
Summary
In recent years there has been growing interest in bulk nanostructured materials produced by severe plastic deformation (SPD) processing, as demonstrated by the increasing numbers of publications with high citations as well as numerous specialized conferences, workshops and symposia on the subject (www.nanospd.org). 2017 TMS Annual Meeting was held from February 26 to March 2, 2017, in San Diego, California, USA This comprehensive annual meeting was dedicated to fostering the exchange of learning and ideas across the entire range of materials science and engineering, from minerals processing and primary metals production, to basic research and the advanced applications of materials and the meeting included the following SPD-related symposia: Nanocrystalline and Ultrafine Grain Materials and Bulk Metallic Glasses, Multiscale Architectured Materials (MAMII): Tailoring Mechanical Incompatibility for Superior Properties Mechanial Behavior of Advanced Materials. 1216-1226 to provide, exactly ten years after the first article with a similar title was published in JOM in the issue dated April 2006, an update to the fast-moving and challenging field of the fabrication of bulk ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials through the application of severe plastic deformation (SPD) and to give a description of new developments in the production and properties of UFG materials. 2017, provides a detailed overview of processing methods, defect structure, and defect-related mechanical and physical properties of nanomaterials and includes new chapters on recent advances in both processing techniques and methods for the study of lattice defects
