The nanostructuring of materials is a versatile route particularly well-suited to the fabrication of metallic materials for engineering applications with desired properties, for example, increased corrosion and temperature resistance, enhanced performance under mechanical loads or the long-term shape preservation of workpieces. This ready reference provides in-depth information on both the bottom-up and the top-down approaches to the synthesis and processing of nanostructured materials. The focus is on advanced methods of mechanical nanostructuring, such as severe plastic deformation, includin. 2015 Text 1 online resource (2 volumes (xxxii, 750 pages) :) : http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9783527674947 eng Handbook of mechanical nanostructuring.
