The strength improvement in the heat-treatable Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys is generally achieved by
increasing the volume fraction of nanoprecipitates and reducing the grain size. However …

The magnitude of the contribution of common strengthening mechanisms in two samples of
heterogeneous structured 18Cr-8Ni austenitic stainless steel (γ-SS) was innovatively …

Rolling is one of the most employed industrial processes which can be used at multiple
manufacturing stages, allowing different geometries such as plates, rods, profiles, billets …

Achieving exceptional ductility in ultra-high strength steels has long been a formidable
challenge, particularly when the yield strength reaches 2.0 GPa. In this study, we have …

This study investigated the effect of grain size distribution on the deformation behavior in fine-
grained (FG) austenitic stainless steels (γ-SSs). Commercial Cr–Mn–N γ-SS was selected as …

Austenitic stainless steels are widely used in civil and defense industries. However, its low
yield strength severely limits its fields of application. Under conventional processing routes …

Frictional sliding creates distinct microstructural and chemical discontinuities between the
subsurface layer and base materials, which dictate the friction and wear properties …

High nitrogen austenitic stainless steels (HNASSs) have received widespread attention
owing to their outstanding corrosion resistance, excellent weldability and workability …

In this work, a heterogeneous structure (HS) with an alternating distribution of coarse and
fine α lamella is fabricated in bimodal Ti6242 alloy via insufficient diffusion of alloying …

TaW refractory alloys with excellent high-temperature mechanical behaviors up to 2000℃
