    Ti-Al composite wires with high specific strength
    (Basel : MDPI AG, 2011) Marr, T.; Freudenberger, J.; Seifert, D.; Klauß, H.; Romberg, J.; Okulov, I.; Scharnweber, J.; Eschke, A.; Oertel, C.-G.; Skrotzki, W.; Kühn, U.; Eckert, J.; Schultz, L.
    An alternative deformation technique was applied to a composite made of titanium and an aluminium alloy in order to achieve severe plastic deformation. This involves accumulative swaging and bundling. Furthermore, it allows uniform deformation of a composite material while producing a wire which can be further used easily. Detailed analysis concerning the control of the deformation process, mesostructural and microstructural features and tensile testing was carried out on the as produced wires. A strong grain refinement to a grain size of 250–500 nm accompanied by a decrease in h111i fibre texture component and a change from low angle to high angle grain boundary characteristics is observed in the Al alloy. A strong increase in the mechanical properties in terms of ultimate tensile strength ranging from 600 to 930 MPa being equivalent to a specific strength of up to 223 MPa/g/cm3 was achieved.

    Processing of intermetallic titanium aluminide wires
    (Basel : MDPI AG, 2013) Marr, T.; Freudenberger, J.; Kauffmann, A.; Romberg, J.; Okulov, I.; Petters, R.; Scharnweber, J.; Eschke, A.; Oertel, C.-G.; Kühn, U.; Eckert, J.; Skrotzki, W.; Schultz, L.
    This study shows the possibility of processing titanium aluminide wires by cold deformation and annealing. An accumulative swaging and bundling technique is used to co-deform Ti and Al. Subsequently, a two step heat treatment is applied to form the desired intermetallics, which strongly depends on the ratio of Ti and Al in the final composite and therefore on the geometry of the starting composite. In a first step, the whole amount of Al is transformed to TiAl3 by Al diffusion into Ti. This involves the formation of 12% porosity. In a second step, the complete microstructure is transformed into the equilibrium state of γ-TiAl and TiAl3. Using this approach, it is possible to obtain various kinds of gradient materials, since there is an intrinsic concentration gradient installed due to the swaging and bundling technique, but the processing of pure γ-TiAl wires is possible as well.

    Grain refinement and deformation mechanisms in room temperature severe plastic deformed Mg-AZ31
    (Basel : MDPI AG, 2013) Knauer, E.; Freudenberger, J.; Marr, T.; Kauffmann, A.; Schultz, L.
    A Ti-AZ31 composite was severely plastically deformed by rotary swaging at room temperature up to a logarithmic deformation strain of 2.98. A value far beyond the forming limit of pure AZ31 when being equivalently deformed. It is observed, that the microstructure evolution in Mg-AZ31 is strongly influenced by twinning. At low strains the [formula presented] twin systems lead to fragmentation of the initial grains. Inside the primary twins, grain refinement takes place by dynamic recrystallization, dynamic recovery and twinning. These mechanisms lead to a final grain size of ≈ 1 μm, while a strong centered ring fibre texture is evolved.

    Systematic tuning of segmented magnetic nanowires into three-dimensional arrays of 'bits'
    (London : RSC Publishing, 2017) Bochmann, S.; Fernandez-Pacheco, A.; Mačković, M.; Neff, A.; Siefermann, K.R.; Spiecker, E.; Cowburn, R.P.; Bachmann, J.
    A method is presented for the preparation of a three-dimensional magnetic data storage material system. The major ingredients are an inert nanoporous matrix prepared by anodization and galvanic plating of magnetic and non-magnetic metals in wire shape inside the cylindrical pores. The individual nanomagnets consist of a nickel-cobalt alloy, the composition of which is tuned systematically by adjusting the electrolytic bath composition at one optimal applied potential. The lowest magnetocrystalline anisotropy is obtained at the composition Ni60Co40, as quantified by superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry. Wires of this composition experience a pinning-free propagation of magnetic domain walls, as determined by single-wire magneto-optical Kerr effect magnetometry. Adding copper into the electrolyte allows one to generate segments of Ni60Co40 separated by non-magnetic copper. The segment structure is apparent in individual nanowires imaged by scanning electron microscopy, UV-photoelectron emission microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The single-domain structure of the wire segments is evidenced by magnetic force microscopy.
