Research Area Activities in field of nanocrystalline metal matrix materials are oriented on their synthesis via mechano-chemical methods (patent No. 282462 and patent No. 285928, both based on preparation of nanocrystalline powder systems with copper matrix) and fundamental understanding of the relationships between the processing, microstructure and mechanical properties of the bulk nanocrystalline materials designed for high temperature applications. Basic research in the area of microstructure simulation and analysis of physical and mechanical properties of metal based composites. Generation of complex microstructural model verified on real materials. Evaluation of creep in metal based composites in dependence on the external factors and on microstructure parameters. Analysis of the role of interphase boundaries and design of strain and fracture models valid for metal based composites at elevated temperatures. The research of nanocrystalline materials is oriented on the development of nanomaterials by SPD (severe plastic deformation) methods, physical and mechanical properties of selected metal materials as well as on analysis of nanosized structure parameters with the aim to determine mechanisms of the process.

Research MethodsThe microstructure of the powder mixtures and macroscopic samples is analysed by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDX and EBSD analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron diffraction of selected area (SAD) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) at room temperature and elevated temperatures. The tensile tests of the standard specimens of bulk dispersion strengthened nanocrystalline materials are performed at room and elevated temperatures. By ECAP (Equal channel angular pressing) method and application of intensive plastic deformations (IPD) nanostructure of composite materials is formed. A method of "small punch" is used to obtain creep characteristics of alloys and composite materials based on Al, extruded and ECAPed (micro and nano materials). Selected Publications
