Abstract

Bulk dynamic plastic deformation (DPD) materials comprise a composite structure of nanoscale twin bundles and nanoscale grains. The tribological properties of DPD-processed pure nano-Cu have been investigated in this study and compared with conventional coarse-grained (CG) Cu under both monotonic and repeated frictional sliding. We demonstrate that DPD nano-Cu and CG Cu exhibit steady-state mechanical characteristics after repeated frictional sliding that are similar to those seen in nanotwinned (NT) Cu produced by pulsed electrodeposition.
