In human-made malleable materials, microdamage such as cracking usually limits material
lifetime. Some biological composites, such as bone, have hierarchical microstructures that …

High-performance alloys play a critical role in demanding engineering applications in
manufacturing, infrastructure, and transportation. In structural applications, they must be …

Realizing improved strength–ductility synergy in eutectic alloys acting as in situ composite
materials remains a challenge in conventional eutectic systems, which is why eutectic high …

Excellent ductility is crucial not only for shaping but also for strengthening metals and alloys.
The ever most widely used eutectic alloys are suffering from the limited ductility and losing …

Metallic alloys containing multiple principal alloying elements have created a growing
interest in exploring the property limits of metals and understanding the underlying physical …

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 …

Single-phase high-and medium-entropy alloys with face-centred cubic (fcc) structure can
exhibit high tensile ductility, and excellent toughness,, but their room-temperature strengths …

High-entropy alloys are equiatomic, multi-element systems that can crystallize as a single
phase, despite containing multiple elements with different crystal structures. A rationale for …

Recently-developed high-entropy alloys (HEAs) containing multiple principal metallic
elements have extended the compositional space of solid solutions and the range of their …

Single-phase body-centered cubic (bcc) refractory medium-or high-entropy alloys can retain
compressive strength at elevated temperatures but suffer from extremely low tensile ductility …
