Diseño de materiales con propiedades extraordinarias mediante la aplicación de deformaciones elásticas

Dr. Teresa Pérez Prado: Physical Metallurgy Group (IMDEA Materials Institute) En un banquete de la Sociedad Americana de Física, el 29 de Diciembre de 1959, Richard Feynman pronunció su ya mundialmente famosa conferencia titulada “There is plenty of room at the bottom”. Por aquel entonces ya concebía un mundo en el que los 24 volúmenes de la Encyclopedia Britannica se podrían escribir en la cabeza de un alfiler mediante un microscopio electrónico. Además, pronosticó que, en el mundo de lo…

Seminar Dr. Alexander Zhilyaev: Bulk nanostructured materials processed by severe plastic deformation: from fundamentals towards applications

Dr. Alexander Zhilyaev: Fundació CTM Centre Tecnològic (Spain) and Institute for Metals Superplasticity Problems of Russian Academy of Science (Russia) In recent years, the development of bulk nanostructured materials (BNM) has become one of the most fascinating directions in modern materials science. One method of nanostructuring is the “top-down” approach which is based on grain refinement through heavy straining or shock wave loading. During the last two decades, grain refinement by severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques has attracted special interest…

Summer School on Advanced Processing of Metallic Materials

The last 28th and 29th of June IMDEA Materials Institute hosted the first Summer School on Advanced Processing of Metallic Materials. This event was organized under the auspices of the DIMMAT-Project for 2016 (dissemination and training programme). This course was offered for undergraduates and graduates in sciences and engineering, and also for industry professionals in advanced materials. Lectures were carried out by distinguished scientists, technologists and industry practitioners participating in the DIMMAT consortium as well as in other technological centers…
