Slip in face centred cubic (fcc) metals is well documented to occur on {111} planes in< 110>
directions. In body centred cubic (bcc) metals, the slip direction is also well established to …

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

CrCoNi exhibits the best combination of strength and ductility among all the equiatomic
single-phase FCC subsets of the CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy. Here, its yield strength …

This study investigated the plastic deformation behavior of a polycrystalline L1 2-structured
FeCoNiV high-entropy alloy (HEA) using in situ electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and …

Friction stir processing was applied to a magnesium alloy to generate various grain sizes
with the same intense basal texture. Subsequent tensile deformation along two orthogonal …

The experimental evidence for the Hall–Petch dependence of strength on the inverse
square-root of grain size is reviewed critically. Both the classic data and more recent results …

The acoustic softening effect in metals during plastic deformation has been widely
investigated in the past decades. However, the mechanism of such an acoustic plasticity …

The field of soft intelligent robots has rapidly developed, revealing extensive potential of
these robots for real-world applications. By mimicking the dexterities of organisms, robots …

Slip transfer across grain boundaries was studied in annealed polycrystalline Al foils
deformed in uniaxial tension by means of the analysis of the slip traces on the specimen …

The reactions of lattice glide dislocations with grain boundaries play a crucial role in the
plastic deformation of polycrystalline materials. Recent studies on the atomic structures of [1 …
