REPORT


Introduction Metal matrix composites with high interface density are produced via severe plastic co-deformation of multiphase alloys.1–15 Corresponding compounds are first prepared by liquid or powder metallurgy3–12 or through restacking solids of different composition.2 Subsequent extreme straining, to promote intense microstructure refinement, proceeds by wire drawing, ball milling, accumulative roll bonding, damascene forging, equal channel angular extrusion, friction, or highpressure torsion.7 Corresponding material systems can be grouped according to a microstructural or chemical classification scheme: From a microstructural perspective, multiphase systems can be classified as either particle-like alloys after primary syn-

thesis or as lamellar or filament-type micro- or nanostructured materials. Often there is a transition between the two, for example, from a second phase with particulate initial shape into a deformation-induced lamellar and nanograined filament composite structure, such as in Cu-Nb, Cu-W, Cu-V, or Cu-Cr.2–20 In other cases, the architecture is not changed during deformation, as in the case of pearlite,1,21–28 where basic topological changes such as fiber curling occur only at very high strains. From a chemical perspective, these alloy systems can be classified as immiscible pure-metal–metal-matrix compounds, intermetallic–metal-matrix compounds, or carbide–metalmatrix composites. In pure metal–metal-matrix composites, we observe the formation of supersaturated solid solutions14
