High strength of materials usually comes with low ductility due to the lost or short-lived strain
hardening. Here, we uncover a sequentially-activated multistage strain hardening (SMSH) …

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 …

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 …

We demonstrate a novel approach of utilizing a hierarchical microstructure design to
improve the mechanical properties of an interstitial carbon doped high-entropy alloy (HEA) …

High entropy alloys (HEAs) with grain-scale heterogeneous structure and coherent
precipitates have shown gigapascal strength and considerable ductility. However, the …

Face-centered cubic (fcc) HEAs, particularly the typical FeCoNiCrMn HEA, are promising for
cryogenic applications but generally exhibit relatively low strength at ambient temperature …

Near-equiatomic single-phase twining-induced plasticity (TWIP) high-entropy alloys (HEAs)
exhibit a good combination of strength and ductility, but their modest yield strength requires …

Face-centered cubic single-phase high-entropy alloys (HEAs) containing multi-principal
transition metals have attracted significant attention, exhibiting an unprecedented …

Alloys with high yield strength and ductility are attractive for application because of their
potential to offer mass reduction, energy savings, and enhanced structural reliability …

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) consisting of multiple principle elements provide an avenue for
realizing exceptional mechanical, physical and chemical properties. We report a novel …
