There are abundant studies on additive manufacturing of Ni alloys, such as Inconel 718.
However, the studies on the microstructure and the deformation behavior of solid solution …

The formation mechanism of twin boundaries in transition metal nitrides has remained
largely unexplored owing to their high stacking fault energy that hinders twin boundary …

Grain refinement to the nanocrystalline regime is the most effective way to strengthen
materials but this often deteriorates the grain-size thermal stability and plasticity. Here we …

Mechanical behavior of metallic multilayers has been intensively investigated. Here we
report on the study of magnetron-sputtered highly textured Al/Ti multilayer films with various …

Under mechanical loading, the strain hardening behavior of crystalline face-centered cubic
(FCC) metals is of critical importance in determining fracture behavior and overall …

Al-Co alloys is an emerging category of metallic materials with promising properties and
potential application in various demanding environments. Over the years, different …

ABSTRACT As-cast Al–20wt.% Si alloys were processed via laser rapid solidification (LRS)
techniques to create eutectic microstructures with nanoscale interconnected, nanotwinned …

Abstract Nanotwinned Al/Ti multilayers have exhibited size-dependent microstructure
evolution and high strength. However, their deformation mechanisms are less well …

Chemical segregations at grain boundaries (GBs) have been broadly investigated in Al
alloys. However, there are limited experimental evidence demonstrating the dependence of …

Al alloys often suffer from low mechanical strength and lack high-temperature microstructural
and mechanical robustness. A series of binary and ternary nanocrystalline (NC) Al transition …
