Title:
METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING METALLIC MATERIAL WITH NANOCRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE, AND METALLIC MATERIAL WITH NANOCRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3879059
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a metallic material of nanocrystalline structure by which performance can be improved, e.g. strength can be improved by providing nanocrystalline structure to a formed body or structure of metallic material and also to provide a high-performance metallic material of nanocrystalline structure manufactured using the manufacturing method.
SOLUTION: The surface layer of the metallic material after forming is amorphized by cold working such as shot peening, and the resultant amorphized metallic material is subjected to low-temperature heat treatment to precipitate nanocrystals in the surface layer. In this way, the strength of e.g. light metals such as aluminum alloys can be increased by a simple method and the manufacture of the lightweight high-strength formed body or structure is made possible, and the resultant metallic material can be used, e.g. for the manufacture of aircraft parts, automotive frames, parts, and lightweight high-strength medical appliances such as artificial arms and the manufacture of various parts and structures with high strength and durability, such as switches.
