Bulk nanostructured (NS) materials processed by severe plastic deformation (SPD) have
received considerable attention for several decades. The physical origin of this processing …

Cyclic deformation responses of ultrafine-grained (UFG) Cu and nanocrystalline (NC) Cu–Al
alloys produced by equal channel angular pressing were investigated systematically by …

As a significant scientific problem directly impacting on the long-term safety of engineering
materials and facilities, the improvement of fatigue strength under fully-reversed cycling was …

Friction stir processing (FSP) was used to prepare coarse-grained (CG), fine-grained (FG),
and ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials to investigate the grain size effects on high cycle …

Increasing the fatigue strengths of high-strength materials, especially their endurance limits
is essentially challenging. The fatigue strengths of nanocrystalline (NC) Cu and Cu–Al alloys …

Here we reveal that a Cu/Cu laminated composite with an appropriate mechanical contrast
between constituent layers can effectively improve the toughness and fatigue strength of …

This study conducts stress-controlled cyclic tension-tension tests from room temperature
(RT) to 200° C, at 50° C intervals, on high-purity Cu films to comprehensively understand the …

The damage mechanisms during high-cycle fatigue (HCF) process were systematically
investigated in the in-situ TiB 2/2024 Al-composite. It is found the HCF endurance limit of in …

In this study, the effects of grain structure on the fatigue crack propagation (FCP) behaviors
in the aviation Al-Li alloy sheets prepared by varying solution heating rates are discussed …

The fatigue crack growth (FCG) behaviors of Cu–Be–Co–Ni alloy subjected to interrupted
aging (IA), normal aging (NA) and overaging (OA) treatment were discussed. The …
