Abstract In this work, a (6.4γ–Al 2 O 3+ 18Al 13 Fe 4)/Al (wt.%) composite (AFO) was in-situ
synthesized through the chemical reaction between Al and oxide powders. After hot …

In this study, an Al–based composite reinforced with nanometric γ–Al 2 O 3 and submicron
AlB 2 particles was fabricated via chemical reactions between Al and boron oxide, followed …

A gradient-structured (GS) Al 0.1 CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy, introduced by simple
torsional methodology, achieves a good combination of strength and ductility. Specifically …

This short communication presents a mechanical performance of the Cu/1010 steel bimetal
laminated composites with typical heterogeneous interface. Interfacial mismatch allows for …

Gradient structured (GS) materials commonly feature varying microstructures with increasing
depth from the surface. In this work, a novel through-length gradient structure (TLGS) is …

Simultaneous strengthening and toughening of austenitic stainless steel are of great
importance in safety-critical applications. Gradient structured steels have thus attracted …

Heterostructured metals exhibit a superior combination of strength, ductility and toughness
compared to both nanocrystalline (NC) and coarse-grained metals with homogeneous …

Inconel 718 flash-butt welding is characterized by the gradient distribution of the welding
temperature field and the deformation resistance, which affects the evolution of the …

In this paper, we designed and prepared the novel laminated TiAl composite (LTC)
consisting of alternating Ti 5 Si 3-rich/equiaxed γ-TiAl layers (TELs) and Ti 5 Si 3 …

Gradient nano-grained (GNG) metals have shown high synergetic strength and good
ductility due to their unique gradient microstructure. In this study, the mechanical behavior of …
