METHODS OF MANUFACTURING DISPERSION STRENGTHENED MATERIALS

Abstract:

A method for producing a dispersion strengthened material is presented. The method includes exposing a plurality of first metal particles to a suspension of dispersoid forming particles to form metal particles having the dispersoid forming particles thereon. The metal particles having the dispersoid forming particles there are subjected to an energy process to form a dispersion strengthened material. Also provided is a method of manufacturing a dispersion strengthened material or metal component that contains nano-sized dispersoids in a metal-based matrix.
