Nanocrystalline (nc) materials can be defined as solids with grain sizes in the range of 1– 100 nm. Contrary to coarse-grained metals, which become more difficult to twin with …

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) open up a new horizon for discovering un-explored mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms. Local chemical fluctuations (LCFs) in HEAs were …
Ordinarily, the strength and plasticity properties of a metal are defined by dislocations—line defects in the crystal lattice whose motion results in material slippage along lattice planes …

Atomistic simulations of dislocation mobility reveal that body-centered cubic (BCC) high- entropy alloys (HEAs) are distinctly different from traditional BCC metals. HEAs are …
This article reviews recent basic research on two classes of twins: growth twins and deformation twins. We focus primarily on studies that aim to understand, via experiments …

Body-centered cubic metals including steels and refractory metals suffer from an abrupt ductile-to-brittle transition (DBT) at a critical temperature, hampering their performance and …
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 …

Repeated stress relaxation tests and strain rate jump tests have been carried out over a range of deformation temperatures (77–373K) on electrodeposited nanocrystalline Ni with …
In the past twenty years, new experimental approaches, improved models and progress in simulation techniques have brought new insights into longstanding issues concerning …
