Enhancing both strength and ductility simultaneously in commercial alloys at an industrial
scale remains a challenging task. In this study, we have demonstrated a simple heat …

The formation of ultra-fine α precipitates in β-titanium alloys can significantly improve
strength but may lead to rupture and low ductility. Here, we propose a simple two-step aging …

The design of alloys with simultaneous high strength and high ductility is still a difficult
challenge. Here, we propose a new approach to designing multi-phase alloys with a …

In conventional duplex titanium (Ti) alloys, the soft primary α-precipitates (α p) are beneficial
to ductility with the loss of high yield strength, while the continuous α-precipitates at grain …

According to Considère necking criterion, enhancing strength of a material will decrease its
elongation to failure, ie ductility, even if the strain hardening rate remains unchanged …

Optimizing strength and ductility by uniting microstructural heterogeneity and profitable
crystallographic orientation is a challenge due to processing difficulties. Here, we synthesize …

Abstract A novel Ti–3Al–5V–5Mo alloy with hierarchical submicron α precipitates and
nanoscale α′ precipitates was developed. The combined strengthening effect of dislocation …

In α+ β titanium alloys, increasing the amount of α/β phase boundaries via conventional heat
treatment usually improves the strength but significantly deteriorates the alloy's ductility …

In β titanium alloys, the β stabilizers segregate easily and considerable effort has been
devoted to alleviate/eliminate the segregation. In this work, instead of addressing the …

ABSTRACT A heterogeneous (α+ β) titanium alloy with extraordinary tensile properties was
prepared. The heterogeneous microstructures, consisting of soft β fiber and hard (α+ β) …
