A strength-ductility trade-off usually occurs when grains are refined to increase strength. A
question arises on if there exists a grain size for the best strength-ductility combination, ie …

A novel strategy through controlling the selection of martensitic variant in metallic materials
is proposed to break through the trade-off between strength and ductility. Here we prepared …

The development of alloys with excellent strength-ductility synergy is a long-lasting research
theme for material scientists, which also holds true for the newly emerged complex …

Displacive martensitic transformation usually prevails in face-centered cubic (FCC) steels
and high-entropy alloys (HEAs) of low stacking fault energy (SFE; eg,< 15 mJ/m 2) upon …

High entropy alloys (HEAs) with heterogeneous grain structure exhibit an unprecedented
combination of high strength and high ductility. Therefore, it is imperative to clarify corrosion …

Synergistic effects of grain sizes on corrosion behavior and mechanical properties of
metastable high-entropy alloys (HEAs) were studied. The results exhibit that the corrosion …

The aim of the present review is to summarize the recent achievements in the development
of ultrafine-grained austenitic/ferritic stainless steels processed by large strain deformation …

In this work, we develop a novel strategy to simultaneously manipulate robust “Al-Al 2 O 3-
CNTs” interface and intragranular nano-sized Al 2 O 3 whiskers and CuAl 2 particles in the …

In polycrystalline austenitic stainless steels, a comprehensive three-dimensional
configuration of crystal plasticity in relation to microstructure is required to elucidate the …

The complicated geometric parts produced by selective laser melting (SLM) are not
amenable to grain boundary engineering (GBE), which is primarily implemented via …
