Gradient grained metals whose microstructure is characterized by a spatially graded grain
size distribution show a better strength-ductility combination than their homogeneous …

High‐and medium‐entropy alloys (HEAs/MEAs), also called as multicomponent alloys, are a
new class of materials that break through the traditional alloy design concept based on …

Synchronous improvement of strength and ductility is a challenging and longstanding
problem in the further development and engineering applications of titanium matrix …

A three-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) method was used to investigate
the effect of residual stress on the stress-strain response of gradient nano-grained (GNG) …

Dispersive strain bands have been reported as a characteristic deformation feature of
heterostructured materials, which helps to improve ductility. However, their formation …

In this study, CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with a surface gradient nanostructure
were produced using industrial shot blasting, which improved their mechanical properties …

Higher strength and ductility are obtained in a flash-butt welded IN718 alloy joint due to an
improved heterogeneous microstructure distribution by adjusting the upsetting deformation …

Simultaneous increase in strength and ductility is obtained in Ti6242 alloys using a
longitudinal gradient structure. Such architecture demonstrates strain hardening regarding …

The limited ductility of nanocrystalline metals severely hinders their practical applications
due to the absence of strain hardening. In this study, we observed strain hardening in layer …

The effect of specific processing-induced surface textures in gradient aluminum has not yet
been investigated. A dislocation-based multi-scale framework is employed to explore the …
