Fundamental results

• A process of severe plastic deformation (Twist Extrusion) is suggested and developed. Twist extrusion allows formation of submicrocrystal and microcrystal structures in bulk samples by grain fragmentation in coarse-grained materials and consolidation of amorphous and nanocrystal powders. A theoretical approach to description of the processes accompanying SPD-treatment is developed.
• A method is proposed and the conditions are established for twist extrusion formation of a hybrid material with the structure combining submicrocrystal and coarse-grained phases in the form of hard shell and soft core of a billet. As compared to a homogeneous submicrocrystal material, the hybrid demonstrates enhanced uniform elongation that provides an additional stability with respect to the overload in the course of tension.
• A method of pressure processing of metals is designed and developed, that is reversible closed punching. A specific feature is possible strengthening of solid and hollow-type billets including those characterized by the cross-section along the length.
• It is found that cold isostatic pressing accelerates the synthesis of lanthanum manganites, reduces the temperature inhibits the growth of crystallites. A method is developed that allows production of nanopowders characterized by the average size of crystallites ~30 nm ((La_0,65Sr_0,35)_0,8Mn_1,2O_3±Δ) and ~6 nm (La_0,7Mn_1,3O_3±Δ).
• The research area of production of film-type nanostructured materials (semiconductors and metals) is intensively developed. For the first time, a method of catalyst-free growth of film arrays of unique carbon-nitrogen fibers from the gaseous at low substrate temperature and low capacity of plasma.
• New optical methods are proposed and the existing ones are improved for contact-free non-destructive control of the oxygen content, thickness and homogeneity of nano-sized magnetoresistive LSMO-films. These methods were applied to the study of the effect of the sputtering and annealing modes on the properties of LSMO-films on different substrates. Besides, optical methods are applied to the tests of the In₂O₃ semiconducting films that are promising materials for production of different gas sensors.

Applied researches

Optimum conditions and modes of deformation of high-nitrogen steels under pressure are found that provide a high set of strength and plastic characteristics. In 2002, the research was awarded by the G.V. Kurdyumov Prize of NAS of Ukraine.

The researchers of the department work on enhancement of strength, crack resistance, conductivity, wear resistance, acid resistance, refractory properties, magnetic characteristics, improvement of the synthesis conditions and the modes of sintering of the tested materials.

Wide experience of the powder synthesis and ceramics sintering is accumulated:

• zirconia (with different stabilizers)
• alumina
• lanthanum manganites of varied composition
• basalt refractory materials
• carbon silicide

The materials can be used in the cases when high wear resistance, hardness, corrosion stability is required. They can operate at high temperature and in corrosive environment.
