Friction stir welding and processing enabled the creation of stronger joints, novel ultrafine-
grained metals, new metal matrix composites, and multifunctional surfaces at user-defined …

Based on the compositional design concept, an Al–6 Mg–0.8 Mn (–0.2 Sc) alloy with a good
combination of strength and ductility was obtained by hot extrusion deformation with a large …

Microstructure and its thermal stability are critical in the development of high-performance Al–
Mg alloys. Here, we attempt to tailor Al 3 (Sc, Zr) precipitates and thus microstructure …

In this study, a newly developed Al–La–Mg–Mn alloy was subjected to solution heat
treatment for the first time. During the solution heat treatment at 500℃, the continuous …

Driven by the highly enhanced demand for metallic materials with excellent strength-ductility
synergy, fine-grained alloy fabricated by severe plastic deformation (SPD) is a long-lasting …

Solid phase processing (SPP) is a promising alloy fabrication technique to produce fine and
homogeneous grain structures for high-performance alloys. However, there is very limited …

The study aims to investigate the influence of fraction of coarse undeformed particles on the
microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of alloys processed by isothermal …

The effect of the combined addition of Sc and Hf on the microstructure and properties of high-
strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr alloys were systematically investigated. The multiscale particles are …

In the present study we utilized Friction Extrusion (FE); a solid phase processing technique;
to produce fully consolidated dense 5 mm rods of AA7075 alloy. The combination of large …

In 1989, fueled by his prior reports and findings, Prof. Herbert Gleiter published a seminal
work on the synthesis, processing, and possibilities for nanocrystalline materials. This spark …
