Abstract
High strength material can be produced by refining the grain structure into the tens-of-nanometer size range. It has become evident that imperfections in n-samples (flaws, porosity, impurities, etc.) have a profound effect on mechanical properties. For example, Vickers hardness values in n-Cu made by inert gas condensation (IGC) increased about 50% with synthesis improvements. This paper reports initial findings from compression tests on nanocrystalline Cu and Pd produced by IGC.
