In this study, the origin of the high tensile ductility (> 10% strain to fracture) of a new class of
high-strength (yield strength> 500 MPa) aluminium (Al) metal matrix composites (Al MMCs) …

To overcome the strength-ductility trade-off dilemma, herein we propose a hybrid in-situ/ex-
situ reinforced aluminum matrix composite to achieve a uniform dispersion of reinforcements …

Ductility collapse is a stubborn issue for developing high-strength Al matrix composites
reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). In order to solve this problem, here we …

It is challenging to obtain a balance of strength and ductility for alloys and their composites.
They are expected to exhibit good comprehensive properties by adjusting the grain …

The aim of this study was to identify deformation behavior and strengthening mechanisms of
a carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced bimodal-grained Al–Cu–Mg nanocomposite and its …

The uniform distribution of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can lead to severe grain refinement to
ultrafine-grained (UFG) regime of Al matrix, resulting in low strain hardening ability, thereby …
