  1. Pure Al: 1 pass Al-6061: 1 pass Processing and Propertiesof Materials with Ultrafine Grain SizesTerence G. Langdon, University of Southern CaliforniaNSF Award DMR-0243331 Equal-Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) • ECAP is used to process ultrafine-grained microstructures. • Grain sizes are generally in the range 100-1000 nm. • Hardness measurements show homogeneity is achieved more easily in pure aluminum than in an Al-6061 alloy: illustrations (right) show hardness contour maps after 1 pass of ECAP. • Materials processed by ECAP exhibit high strength at ambient temperature.

Langdon, University of Southern CaliforniaNSF Award DMR-0243331 Training • 2 graduate students, 1 post-doc and 2 senior visitors are participating in this research. • A collaboration is in place with Kyushu University, Japan. Dr. Cheng Xu (third from right) and graduate student Megumi Kawasaki (second from right) together with other TMS awardees at Charlotte, N.C. (2004). Impact • Invited lectures describing the results were presented at international conferences in the Czech Republic, Japan, Poland, Spain, U.K., U.S.A. • The P.I. is co-organizer of conferences on Ultrafine-Grained Materials in Spain (2003), Charlotte, N.C. (2004), Ukraine (2004), China (2004), Japan (2005), Canada (2006). • The post-doc and graduate student won awards for best oral presentation and best poster at the TMS Annual Meeting, Charlotte, N.C. (2004). Prof. Langdon, Prof. Furui, Megumi Kawasaki, Dr. Cheng Xu, Praveen Kumar and Dr. Karodi Venkateswarlu at the University of Southern California.
