Hall-Petch strengthening for the microhardness of twelve nanometer grain diameter electrodeposited nickel

Journal Article · · Scr. Metall.; (United States)

Hall-Petch strengthening has been observed for the microhardness of electrodeposited nickel extending to a grain diameter of approximately 12 nm. A microhardness value of approximately 7 kN/mm/sup 2/ (700 kg/mm/sup 2/) is obtained at this smallest grain size. Estimated Hall-Petch friction stress and stress intensity values for flow stress at epsilon = 0.075 compare reasonably well with theoretical model calculations and previously reported tensile stress-strain measurements on related specimens.
