The degradation of ductility is obvious in low-temperature annealed face centered cubic
(FCC) based alloys under bulk quasi-static tensile experiments due to intermetallic phase …

Two important and desirable properties of materials for most structural applications are high
tensile strength and ductility, which typically require high work hardening to delay necking …

In conventional metallic materials, strength and ductility are mutually exclusive, referred to
as strength-ductility trade-off. Here, we demonstrate an approach to improve the strength …

Although tension-compression (TC) asymmetry in yield strength was rarely documented in
coarse-grained face centered cubic (FCC) metals as critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) …

Conventional high strength alloys lack ductility due to lower work hardening and early onset
of damage nucleation. To overcome this deficiency, high entropy alloys (HEAs) enjoy the …

The recrystallized and pre-deformed CoCrNi medium-entropy alloy (MEA), introduced with
high-density deformation twins, exhibits an unprecedented high yield strength up to 2.1 GPa …

Hetero-grain/precipitation engineering was adopted to improve mechanical properties of
alloy over a wide temperature range. Partial recrystallization and L1 2 nanoprecipitation …

High-entropy alloys (HEA) and medium-entropy alloys (MEA), containing multiple principal
elements typically with equiatomic or near-equiatomic ratios, have drawn considerable …

Under high strain-rate loading, prominent increases in pressure usually triggers phase
transition (PT), but the concomitant temperature rise may also cause melting. Quasi …

Metallic alloy design for room temperature applications typically aims at avoiding undesired
brittle intermetallic phases. In transition metal alloys, the sigma phase is particularly known …
