For decades, high susceptibility to intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion cracking is
the Achilles's heel for the 5xxx series Al alloys with high Mg (> 3 wt%) owing to precipitation …

Ductility, ie, uniform strain achievable in uniaxial tension, diminishes for materials with very
high yield strength. Even for the CrCoNi medium-entropy alloy (MEA), which has a simple …

Low ductility has long been the bottleneck especially at high strength in metallic structured
materials due to conventional forest hardening having little to no effect. Hetero-structuring is …

The yield strength of metals is typically governed by the average grain size through the Hall-
Petch relation, and it usually follows the rule of mixture (ROM) for layered composite …

Heterostructured materials have been reported to possess superior combinations of strength
and ductility, which is attributed to hetero-deformation induced (HDI) strengthening and work …

Materials containing heterogeneous nanostructures hold great promise for achieving
superior mechanical properties. However, the strengthening effect due to plastically …

In this work, we designed heterogeneous (NiCoCr) 88 Al 10 Ta 2 (at.%) duplex medium-
entropy alloy (MEA) comprising the face-centered-cubic (FCC) matrix and the B2 phase …

Heterostructures can effectively break the traditional strength-ductility trade-off dilemma.
However, how the texture of materials with heterostructure under hetero-deformation …

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 …

The interfaces introduced in metals by heterostructural design play crucial roles in
mechanical behaviors. Here the effect of gradient interfaces on mechanical behavior was …
