Heterogeneous metals and alloys are a new class of materials with superior mechanical
properties. In this paper, we engineered sandwich-structured pure aluminum laminates …

A new heterogeneous aluminum composite was synthesized by one step mechanical milling
followed by hot pressing sintering to evade the strength–ductility trade-off. The …

Many unremitting pursuits have been paid on designing microstructures to enhance the
strength-ductility synergy of metallic materials. In this work, laminated bimodal …

In this work, a powder metallurgy-thermomechanical method was proposed to fabricate
bimodal composites with the forward design of coarse grain fractions. By optimizing …

Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) often have low ductility, which has been a long-lasting
issue in the last few decades. This problem arises largely from the non-deformability of …

Heterostructured composites with the coexistence of hard and soft phases can achieve a
superior strength-ductility synergy. However, the deformation and fracture mechanisms of …

In this paper, ultrafine-grained pure aluminum was first fabricated by heavy extrusion.
Subsequently, the prepared samples were annealed at 350 o C for different times to tailor …

In the present work, the mechanical behavior of tri-metallic 7075Al/1060Al/304 stainless
steel (Al/Al/Steel) composites was systematically investigated, emphasizing the effect of the …

Due to the contradictory relationship between strength and toughness, many novel
structures have been designed to overcome the tradeoff dilemma. In this paper, pure copper …

This study presents a method to obtain aluminum alloy laminated composites with high yield
strength and good ductility through a multiscale coarse/ultrafine-grained design, which are …
