Severe plastic deformation SPD is an attractive route for producing nanostructured materials. Although the diffusion behavior in SPD materials is currently a hot topic, there are still some controversies. This is mostly due to two reasons: strong microstructural changes during the thermal diffusion treatment and the lattice dislocation effect on interface diffusion. By means of surface mechanical attrition treatment SMAT, 1,2 a surface layer with a gradient microstructure has been produced on a Cu plate of 99.995 wt % purity. The detailed microstructural characterization can be found in Ref. 3. The grain size increases first gradually with the depth, from about 10 nm at the top surface to about 100 nm at a depth of 25 m and then approaches the original micrometer level at a depth larger than 500 m. The surface layer with such a gradient structure provides us a unique opportunity to study the effect of microstructure, particularly of grain size and of interface structure, on interface diffusion in a nanocrystalline material. A previous study indicated that Ni significantly penetrates into the nanostructured surface layer of Cu produced by SMAT even at a temperature as low as 383 K. 4 To suppress a possible effect of thermally induced structure variation during the diffusion annealing treatment, grain boundary GB diffusion of Ni in SMAT Cu is studied in the present work at room temperature. Since the treated samples have been stored for more than 2 months at room temperature after their preparation, no structural relaxation is expected to occur during the present diffusion experiments. The disk samples were cut by spark erosion. The SMAT surface was pressed against a polished WC hard alloy plate with a compressive strain of about 10% to reduce the surface roughness and the samples were reduced in diameter by 1 mm in order to eliminate the side effects of pressing. The 63 Ni radioisotope was deposited by drying a droplet of dilute HCl solution containing diffusant onto the surface of five different samples: the as-prepared SMAT sample sample A, the one preannealed at 423 K for 60 min sample B, the ones with removed surface layers of 12.5 and 27.5 m in thickness samples C and D, respectively, and an annealed coarse-grained sample sample O. All the samples were then stored at room temperature 293 1K for 6.510 4 s 18 h. Diffusion penetration profiles were determined by the serial-sectioning technique using a precision parallel grinder and a special abrasive Mylar foil with Al2O3 particles 3 m. The section thickness was determined from the mass reduction by weighing the sample after each grinding step. The tracer concentration in each section is proportional to its specific radioactivity, i.e., the ratio of the effective counting rate to the removed mass. The number of radioactive decay of 63 Ni was measured by a liquidscintillation counter TRI-CARB 2500 TR. The diffusion profiles of Ni measured in the SMAT samples are plotted in Fig. 1, in comparison with the “zero” profile measured in the coarse-grained sample. The radioactivity values in samples A, B, C, and D have been rescaled for a convenient comparison. The first several points close to the surface are not included in the analysis since they are
