The sub-grain cellular dislocation structure has been reported to be the primary reason for
the enhanced mechanical properties in laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) parts. In the current …

Precipitation hardening is the most effective strategy to enhance the mechanical properties
of metals. Dislocation mechanisms to control strengthening during precipitation have been …

Gradient-structured (GS) materials are capable of displaying high strength without
compromising ductility, which can result in damage-tolerant structures. However, due to the …

Heterostructure metals as a new class of materials can effectively break the traditional
strength–ductility trade-off dilemma. In this study, the extruded sheet with the small extrusion …
