| 20090090438 | Method and apparatus for making high strength metals with a face-centered-cubic structure - A process for increasing the strength of pure copper and other fcc matrix alloys. The method is particularly applicable to face-centered-cubic materials that undergo dynamic recovery when strain-hardened at room temperature. A cryogenic strain hardening process is used to create a high strength pure copper or copper+Al | 04-09-2009 |
| 20100269961 | Method and apparatus for making high strength metals with a face-centered-cubic structure - A process for increasing the strength of pure copper and other fcc matrix alloys while maintaining ductility. The method is particularly applicable to face-centered-cubic materials that undergo dynamic recovery when strain-hardened at room temperature. The material is first subjected to equal channel angular pressing to create an ultra fine grain structure (“UFG”). The UFG sample is then subjected to cryogenic drawing and finally to subcryogenic deformation. | 10-28-2010 |

| 20160122839 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING COMPONENTS FROM LIGHTWEIGHT STEEL - A method is disclosed for producing components from an austenitic lightweight steel which is metastable in its initial state, by forming of a sheet, a circuit board or a pipe in one or more steps, exhibiting a temperature-dependent TRIP and/or TWIP effect during forming. To obtain a component with, in particular, high toughness, the forming is carried out at a temperature above room temperature, at 40 to 160° C., which avoids the TRIP/TWIP effect, and to achieve in particular high component strength, the forming is carried out at a temperature below room temperature, at −65 to 0° C., which enhances the TRIP/TWIP effect. | 05-05-2016 |
