During the latest 20 years, the extended finite element method (XFEM) has been gradually
used to investigate the crack growth behaviors of different materials in combination with …

Lightweighting of automobiles by use of novel low-cost, high strength-to-weight ratio
structural materials can reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and in turn CO 2 emission …

Grain boundary α-phase (GB-α) precipitation and coarsening behavior in Ti-6Al-4V (Ti-64)
processed by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) were investigated and compared with those in …

In conventional duplex titanium (Ti) alloys, the soft primary α-precipitates (α p) are beneficial
to ductility with the loss of high yield strength, while the continuous α-precipitates at grain …

This study aims to reveal how microstructure affect the strength and the plasticity of a
metastable β titanium alloy Ti–55531 (Ti–5Al–5Mo–5V–3Cr–1Zr). Lamellar microstructure …

It is of significance, but still remains a key challenge to overcome the strength–ductility trade-
off, and homogenize the mechanical performance of the additively manufactured titanium …

Interstitial solutes (eg O, N) often enhance strength; however, their poisoning effect leads to
markedly decreased ductility and even embrittlement in titanium (Ti) alloys. Thus, using …

Tensile deformation and damage evolution of a metastable β titanium alloy (Ti–5Cr–4Al–4Zr–
3Mo–2W–0.8 Fe) with lamellar microstructure are studied by in-situ tensile test under …

The competitive effect of microstructural features including primary α (α p), secondary α (α s),
grain boundary α (α GB) and β grain size on mechanical properties of a near β Ti alloy were …

Based on the observation on slip trace and crystallographic orientation, the corresponding
slip system, Schmid factor (SF) and geometric compatibility parameter (m') around the crack …
