Owing to their unique mechanical and functional properties, both amorphous and
nanocrystalline alloys have attracted extensive research interest over the past decades …

Nearly all metals, alloys, ceramics, and their associated composites are polycrystalline in
nature, with grain boundaries that separate well-defined crystalline regions that influence …

In-spite of all of the unique properties of nanocrystalline materials, they are notorious when it
comes to their susceptibility to thermally induced grain coarsening, thus imposing an upper …

For more than half a century, spinodal decomposition has been a key phenomenon in
considering the formation of secondary phases in alloys. The most prominent aspect of the …

The interaction of alloying elements with grain boundaries (GBs) influences many
phenomena, such as microstructural evolution and transport. While GB solute segregation …

A large number of massive crystal-plasticity-finite-element (CPFE) simulations are performed
and post-processed to reveal the effects of element type and mesh resolution on accuracy of …

Grain boundary (GB) solute segregation has been proposed as a route to mitigate grain
growth in nanocrystalline (NC) metals and stabilize their grain structures. An interesting …

A nanocrystalline (NC) face-centered cubic FeNi2CoMo0. 2V0. 5 high-entropy alloy was
produced by high pressure torsion (HPT). The evolutions of microhardness and …

The thermal stability and mechanical properties of a gradient-nanograined structure (GNS)
CoCrNi medium entropy alloy (MEA) processed by ultrasonic surface rolling were studied by …

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the flow properties of an Al-3Mg-0.2 Sc alloy both
without and with processing using equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP). The initial grain …
