Abstract

A High Resolution Electron Microscopy (HREM) study of grain boundaries in nanocrystalline copper produced by sliding wear and by inert gas condensation is described. The results in both cases are essentially the same and similar to those in conventional polycrystals. Contrary to reports in the literature, these results do not indicate the presence of a fundamentally different structure in nanocrystalline materials. Measurements of the mechanical properties (such as yield strength, elastic modulus and strain rate sensitivity) of these materials using nanoindentation are also presented. These are found to be in good agreement with values expected from a polycrystalline material with a very fine grain size.
