Melt quenching provides new opportunities for producing advanced materials with a unique combination of properties. This book presents a detailed and systematic analysis of the nanostructured state formed in the process of melt quenching and subsequent thermal and deformation effects. It covers the metallurgical and mechanical properties of nanomaterials, focusing particularly on properties derived from nanocrystals and their agglomeration. The text introduces four different types of nanocrystals, each having different structures and properties. Their possible uses are extensive, with applications from coatings to biological compatibility.
