Many studies have shown that the outstanding mechanical properties of surface nano- crystallized (SNC) materials were primarily attributed to the grain size gradient (GSG) region …
Conventional polycrystalline metals become stronger with decreasing grain size, yet softening starts to take over at the nanometer regime, giving rise to the strongest size at …
