Single-phase face-centered cubic (SP-FCC) alloys normally possess low strength.
Conventionally strengthening strategies inevitably cause significant ductility sacrifice. Here …

Low-activation vanadium alloys, with the reference composition of V–4Cr–4Ti have been
considered as one of the most promising candidate materials for structural components such …

Understanding fatigue phenomena in metals is of great significance for mechanical
performance in engineering systems. Microstructural evolution in austenitic stainless steels …

Diffraction line profile analysis was performed to qualitatively evaluate the change in the
microstructure of austenitic stainless steel during 250 cycles of plastic deformation. The …

Dissimilar-metals bonding between V–4Cr–4Ti and Hastelloy X alloy was investigated by
explosive welding, which is essential to connect coolant pipes of Flibe blanket and external …

Cold-drawn pearlitic steel wires exhibit the highest strength amongst steel products for
commercially use. The microstructure and the mechanical properties of wires are influenced …

This paper investigated the formation of bubbles and precipitates and the hardening effects
in V–4Cr–4Ti alloy after irradiation of He and H ions and post-irradiation annealing …

In this paper, the mechanical properties of a cold-drawn wire (ε= 2.43) are modulated by
simple annealing and the variation of its microstructure is characterized by transmission …

Multiplication and rearrangement of dislocations in face-centered cubic (FCC) metals during
tensile deformation are affected by grain size, stacking fault energy (SFE), and solute …

Two key mechanisms, anodic dissolution, and hydrogen embrittlement, govern the stress
corrosion cracking (SCC) in bridge cable steel wires. This study investigates the …
