Advanced Materials

Refining the grain

structure of the metal

to ultrafine

(submicron) levels,

its strength and

Semiconductor Biomaterials hardness increase

significantly

compared to the

coarse-grained

(micron-size) bulk

Smart Nanomaterials metal. For example,
Materials nano-structured pure

copper has a yield

strength of six times

that of coarse-grained

copper. 62
