Gradient structures found in biological materials have served as a source of inspiration for
scientists seeking to enhance the performance of metals and alloys over the past decades …

In this work, a multi-scale approach was applied to reveal the evolution mechanisms of the δ
(Ni 3 Nb) phase and the resultant mechanical responses in wire-arc additive manufactured …

Heterogeneous microstructure alloys provide a possibility for the combination of strength
and ductility. As a typical heterogeneous microstructure, partially recrystallized …

The simultaneous optimization of strength and ductility in high-performance metallic
materials has long been a challenge for researchers, characterized by an inherent trade-off …

Circular holes on single crystal (SX) superalloys are widely utilized as film cooling structures
on SX turbine blades, while their failure is a persistent issue. This study presents in-situ tests …

In this paper, 7055 Al composites reinforced by Al 2 O 3 and ZrB 2 nanoparticles were
fabricated by in-situ reaction. The adhesion (Wad) of the ZrB 2/Al interface was 3.91 J/m 2 …

A coupled crystal plasticity phase field damage framework has been developed and applied
to modelling damage initiation. A novel implementation of a grain misorientation angle …

In this work, wire arc additive manufactured IN718 materials with different textures and
defect characteristics were obtained via two deposition strategies: parallel mode (P_mode) …

Similar to other metallic materials, duplex stainless steel dramatically loses its advantage of
high ductility as they are strengthened. Here, we produce a gradient nanograined dual …

This paper explores the effect of evolutionary-type nonlinear energetic higher order stress
inside the strain gradient plasticity framework that allows nonlinearity in dissipation. Based …
