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 …

The advent of magnesium (Mg) alloys has ushered in a paradigm shift in the field of
biomedical implants, owing to their inherent biodegradability, commendable mechanical …

In the present work, we revisited the classical topic of elastic energy storage during strain
hardening of metals from a perspective of the analytically tractable thermodynamic …

Microstructural development and mechanical properties of tungsten heavy alloy, WHA, with
FeNiCoCrMn high entropy alloy, HEA, binder were investigated and compared to …

The energy dissipation and storage during strain hardening of metals have been
