Nanostructured metallic materials often lack sufficient work-hardening capability and suffer
premature necking during tensile loading. In this study, intense rolling strain was applied to …

Experiments were conducted to investigate, within the framework of a multiscale approach,
the mechanical enhancement, deformation and damage behavior of copper–silicon carbide …

Pinning effect of second-phase particles has been demonstrated as an extremely effective
way to impede grain boundary (GB) migration to increase strength or thermal stability …

In the present study, we fundamentally explore the reasons underlying mechanical property
variation in hot-rolled 11Mn transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steels with varying Al …

The interaction between coherent Ag precipitates and various migrating Cu< 111> tilt grain
boundaries has been studied by molecular dynamics' simulations. The moving grain …

This work focused on the effect of the structural order and dimensionality on the deformation
mechanism of Cu-Ag alloy and the triggering factors of this mechanism. It is revealed that (i) …

Cu-Ag composite is one of the best conductors for high-field magnets. Increasing its strength
is crucial for designing newer high-field magnets. Cu-28 wt% Ag samples were solidified …

A single-phase Cu–Al alloy with a low stacking fault energy was processed by cold rolling
and subsequent annealing. Fully recrystallized microstructures composed of ultrafine grains …

Fatigue fracture is the major threat to the railway axle, which can be avoided or delayed by
surface strengthening. In this study, a low-carbon alloy axle steel with two states was treated …

Experiments were conducted on an Fe–10Ni–7Mn (wt.%) martensitic steel processed by
high-pressure torsion (HPT) after intercritical annealing in the dual phase (α+ γ) region at …
