Yonghao ZhaoMaterials Science Forum Vol.683Bulk nanostructured (NS) materials have emerged as a newclass of materials having unusual structures and properties. Asa result, they have attracted considerable attention in recentyears. Bulk NS materials are single or multi-phase polycrystalswith a nanoscale grain size and can usually be classified intonanocrystalline (
