  1. Creep and Superplasticity in Materials with Ultrafine Grain SizesTerence G. Langdon, University of Southern California, DMR 0243331 Equal-Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) and High-Pressure Torsion (HPT) • ECAP and HPT are used to fabricate ultrafine-grained microstructures with grain sizes <1000 nm. • Hardness measurements demonstrate the development of homogeneity after processing: illustrations (right) show an inhomogeneous microstructure after 1 turn of HPT (upper) and a more homogeneous microhardness after 5 turns (lower). • Materials processed by ECAP and HPT are under evaluation for use in superplastic forming operations.

Langdon, University of Southern California, DMR 0243331 Training • 2 graduate students (Megumi Kawasaki and Roberto Figueiredo) and 1 post-doc (Dr. Cheng Xu) are participating in this research. • Collaborations are in place with Kyushu University, Japan, and the University of Southampton, U.K. Impact • Invited lectures describing the results were presented at international conferences in Canada, Germany, Japan, Poland, Russia, Spain, U.K., U.S.A. • The P.I. co-organized conferences on Ultrafine-Grained Materials in Spain (2003); Charlotte, N.C. (2004); Japan (2005); San Antonio, TX (2006); Ufa, Russia (2007). • The post-doc (Dr. Cheng Xu) and student (Megumi Kawasaki) won awards for best oral presentations at the TMS Annual Meetings in Charlotte, N.C. (2004) and San Antonio, TX (2006).
