Dense intragranular distribution of nanoscale reinforcements is highly desirable since it is
effective in reconciling the strength-ductility trade-off in Al matrix composites (AMCs). Herein …

Nanograined metals have the merit of high strength, but usually suffer from low work
hardening capacity and poor thermal stability, causing premature failure and limiting their …

A nanoprecipitates induced dislocation pinning and multiplication strategy is proposed for
designing Cu alloys with high strength, plasticity and conductivity. That is, the …

The conventional role played by precipitates in crystalline solids is in blocking the motion of
dislocations and for consequentially hardening, a mechanism attributed to Orowan's finding …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a highly promising technique for producing near-net-shape
high-value aerospace components with intricate geometries. However, due to the …

Metallic materials are usually composed of single phase or multiple phases, which refers to
homogeneous regions with distinct types of the atom arrangement. The recent studies on …
