In the pursuit of rapid atomic migration in lightweight Fe–Al diffusion couples, rationally
designing short-circuit diffusion paths has become paramount. Herein, a strain-mediated …

Abstract A new Cu–2Ag–0.14 La alloy is developed to enhance the mechanical property
and electrical conductivity with inducement of Ag-rich primary phases and finer nanoscale …

In this study, a novel low-silver Ag-xCu-5Ga (x= 28, 34, 39, 49 and 55) solder with high
strength was designed and prepared. The effect of element composition on microstructure …

Magnesium hydride is widely known as an interesting candidate for solid-state hydrogen
storage. However it is too stable and does not desorb hydrogen at ambient conditions …

High-pressure torsion (HPT) processing was applied to an Fe-10Ni-7Mn (wt.%) martensitic
steel at room temperature and the grain size was reduced from an initial value of~ 5.5 µm to …

Cu alloys can be plastically deformed to reach ultra-high strength, but often at an expense of
their electrical conductivity. Here we report that the introduction of hierarchical precipitations …

A powder mixture of Nb–47 wt.% Ti (a well-known composition for superconducting
magnets) was subjected to severe plastic deformation using high-pressure torsion (HPT) …

We report an atomic-scale investigation of interface-facilitated deformation twinning
behaviour in Ag-Cu nanolamellar composites. Profuse twinning activities in Ag supply partial …

A new Cu–2 wt% Ag–0.15 wt% La alloy composed of large-size Ag-rich primary phases was
processed into wire billets by successive drawing, annealing and continuous extrusion …

316LN stainless steel is a prospective structural material for the nuclear and medical
instruments industries. Severe plastic deformation (SPD) combined with annealing …
