Micro-scale components from high-strength nanostructured alloys

Saldana, C.; Yang, P.; Mann, J.B.; Moscoso, W.; Gill, D.D.; Chandrasekar, S.; Trumble, K.P.

A general approach for manufacturing of micro-scale components from high-strength, nanostructured materials is presented. The approach utilizes severe plastic deformation by large-strain extrusion machining to create the nanostructured material in a high-strength alloy system, and conventional micro-machining to produce the components. Manufacture of small-scale gears from nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718 is illustrated. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
