✦ Synopsis

Nanostructured metals and alloys have enhanced tensile strength, fatigue strength and ductility and are suitable for use in applications where strength or strength-to-weight ratios are important. Part one of this important book reviews processing techniques for bulk nanostructured metals and alloys. Parts two and three discuss microstructure and mechanical properties, whilst part four outlines applications of this new class of material.
