The electrodeposition of high-strength nanocrystalline metals and alloys as a means to augment the performance of electrical conductors

$15.00

This paper presents an introduction to electrodeposited nanomaterials and how they can be used for structural reinforcement and weight reduction purposes. Key properties such as strength, ductility, conductivity, fatigue resistance, and corrosion performance are discussed with particular emphasis on how the performance, most notably tensile strength, of an electrical conductor can be improved via the application of these materials. Finally, the ease of large-scale implementation will be addressed.
