Metallic materials are usually composed of single phase or multiple phases, which refers to
homogeneous regions with distinct types of the atom arrangement. The recent studies on …

Improving the plasticity of TiAl alloys at room temperature has been a longstanding
challenge for the development of next-generation aerospace engines. By adopting the nacre …

Synchronous improvement of strength and ductility is a challenging and longstanding
problem in the further development and engineering applications of titanium matrix …

The deformation-coordination ability between ductile metal and brittle dispersive ceramic
particles is poor, which means that an improvement in strength will inevitably sacrifice …

ABSTRACT A Ti3C2 MXene/Ti composite powder was developed through surface
modification and powder coating for producing a high-performance titanium matrix …

Ductility collapse is a stubborn issue for developing high-strength aluminum (Al) matrix
composites reinforced with graphene nanosheets (GNSs). In order to solve this problem …

The wider application of copper alloys is challenged due to their relatively low strength and
thermal stability. Here we report a nano-reinforcement dispersion strategy to achieved an …

Here we report an “intragranular ultra-nano precipitation” strategy to strongly plasticizing
and simultaneously strengthen polycrystalline Cu alloys. Our strategy relies on a high …

Distribution states of reinforcement have considerable impact on the strength and ductility of
metal composites. Herein, we reported a “nanodispersion-in-grains” strategy to …

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) with homogeneous structures (ie, reinforcements with a
uniform size are randomly dispersed in the metal matrix with a uniform grain size …
