Abstract

Shear assisted extrusion processes (ShAPE) for forming Metal-NCCF extrusions are provided. The processes can include: using a die tool, applying a rotational shearing force and an axial extrusion force to a feedstock material comprising a metal and NCCF (NanoCrystalline Carbon Films); and extruding a mixture comprising the metal and NCCF through an opening in the die tool to form the Metal-NCCF extrusion. ShAPE feedstock materials are provided that can include a metal and NCCF. Conductive solid material mixtures are provided that can include a metal and a NCCF. Portions of the metals and NCCF of the material mixtures can have an isotropic crystallographic orientation. Assemblies relying in part on conductivity can include: a conductive solid material mixture that includes: a metal; and a NCCF.
