To attain an unusual combination of low density and high specific strength in lightweight
materials, Ti–Mg heterostructured (HS) materials comprising soft Mg domains embedded in …

Plastic flow machining (PFM) is a novel severe plastic deformation (SPD) approach that
produces gradient-structured surface sheets by a one-step forming method. This paper …

Martensite transformation and grain refinement can make austenitic stainless steel stronger,
but this comes at a dramatic loss of both ductility and corrosion resistance. Here we report a …

Here an ideal grain structure, with short dislocation-slip path and low dislocation density, is
fabricated in a Cu–Al alloy by combining equal channel angular pressing and cold rolling at …

In present investigation, an effective thermomechanical treatment (TMT) was developed to
improve the mechanical properties of rolled 1100/7075 Al alloys laminated metal composite …

Gradient-structured (GS) metals have been reported to possess superior mechanical
properties. In this study, the mechanical incompatibility and strain delocalization of Cu-4.5 Al …

Medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) exhibit excellent mechanical properties and unique
deformation mechanism at cryogenic temperatures. However, limited studies have been …

Recent experimental evidence suggests that hetero-deformation-induced (HDI) stress does
not increase linearly with an increasing strain gradient, which contradicts conventional strain …

The influence of dual-heterostructure of grain size and precipitates on the mechanical
properties of the AZ91 alloy extruded sheet prepared by small extrusion ratio was …

In this study, we achieved hetero-structuring of multi-phase (CuFe) 100-x Mn x (x= 15, 20,
and 33 at%) medium-entropy alloys having excellent strength-ductility synergy by systematic …
