Results Both Cu/Nb and Cu/Cr multilayers exhibited polycrystalline layers with sharp, planar
interfaces between the two phases. A cross-section TEM micrograph from a 50 nm/50 nm …

The properties and the microstructure of cold-drawn Cu–Ag and Cu–Nb composites have
been investigated for their potential use as conductors in pulsed high field magnets. Cu–Nb …

Atomistic modeling is used to investigate the shear resistance and interaction with point
defects of a Cu–Nb interface found in nanocomposites synthesized by severe plastic …

We have investigated the microstructure and mechanical properties of sputter-deposited
Cu/V and Al/Nb metallic multilayer systems in this study and compared their mechanical …

There are many engineering applications in which composite materials are required to
satisfy two or more criteria regarding physical and mechanical properties. In this article, Al …

High field magnets require the development and fabrication of large quantities of wire which
possess both high strength and high electrical conductivity (the latter is usually expressed as …

Applications of reinforced composites and heterogeneous solids are widespread, spanning
technological areas of various aerospace and mechanical industries. A real challenge …

Modeling the electrical conductivity of composite materials is a complex matter, particularly if
microstructural features lead to a size effect in electronic conduction or create an anisotropy …

The fundamental mechanisms of the deformation of heavily deformed multiphase materials
are not clearly understood despite the vast literature and the amount of data on this subject …

Two types of Cu–Nb microcomposites were studied by transmission electron microscopy.
The in-situ composites were prepared by casting, followed by deformation, packing and …
