Abstract

The paper reviews results of experimental and theoretical studies of diffusion and related phenomena (grain growth, creeps,superplasticity) in bulk nanostructured materials. The particular attention is paid to the recent development in fabrication of bulk nanostructured materials and their microstructural characterization, evolution of bulk nanostructured materials during heating. Experimental study and theoretical modeling of grain boundary diffusion in bulk nanostructured materials are described. Related phenomena (grain growth, creep, superplasticity) in such materials and also ordering-reordering kinetics are presented.
