The development of alloys with excellent strength-ductility synergy is a long-lasting research
theme for material scientists, which also holds true for the newly emerged complex …

A strength-ductility trade-off usually occurs when grains are refined to increase strength. A
question arises on if there exists a grain size for the best strength-ductility combination, ie …

High entropy alloys (HEAs) with heterogeneous grain structure exhibit an unprecedented
combination of high strength and high ductility. Therefore, it is imperative to clarify corrosion …

A novel strategy through controlling the selection of martensitic variant in metallic materials
is proposed to break through the trade-off between strength and ductility. Here we prepared …

The aim of the present review is to summarize the recent achievements in the development
of ultrafine-grained austenitic/ferritic stainless steels processed by large strain deformation …

Using cold rolling and low temperature annealing, a Fe 65 Ni 15 Cr 10 Co 10 medium
entropy alloy (MEA) with a heterogeneous microstructure was presented. The cold rolled …

Displacive martensitic transformation usually prevails in face-centered cubic (FCC) steels
and high-entropy alloys (HEAs) of low stacking fault energy (SFE; eg,< 15 mJ/m 2) upon …

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a commonly used additive manufacturing (AM) method
for efficiently producing intricate geometric components. This investigation examines factors …

In this work, we develop a novel strategy to simultaneously manipulate robust “Al-Al 2 O 3-
CNTs” interface and intragranular nano-sized Al 2 O 3 whiskers and CuAl 2 particles in the …

The present study explores the deformation behavior of fine-grained 316L stainless steel
through in-situ tensile transmission electron microscopy (TEM), with a focus on both …
