Deformation twinning is an important plastic carrier competing with the ordinary dislocation
slip in a broad class of crystalline solids, which critically controls the mechanical properties …

Body-centred cubic (BCC) metals possess unstable intrinsic stacking fault and high
resistance for deformation twinning, which often induce complex twinning dynamics that …

Two different types of shear bands generate in ultrafine-grained (UFG) CoCrFeMnNi high-
entropy alloys deformed at 77 K, ie commonly-observed low angle grain boundary (LAGB) …

As a potent grain refiner for steel casting, TiN is now widely used to refine γ-austenite in
steel additive manufacturing (AM). However, the refining mechanism of TiN during AM …

The structural and mechanical response of pure body-centered cubic (BCC) Nb under shock
loading were systematically studied. Shock-induced orthorhombic (α") martensitic …

The non-planar core structure of screw dislocations in body-centered cubic (BCC) metals
strongly influences its twinning dynamics, resulting in a minimum embryo size of six-layers …

Abstract For Sc-containing Al-Li alloys, Al 3 Sc precipitates exhibited inhomogeneous
distribution due to limited solid solubility, segregation and sluggish diffusion of Sc. Laser …

Superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) devices have extremely high quality factors which
makes them ideal for applications in particle detection, in quantum computing, and in …

Although niobium is a well characterized material, it still shows some anomalies that are not
yet understood. Therefore, we revisit its metastable phases using density functional theory …

In this work, precipitation and deformation behavior of a novel Al-Cu-Li-Mg-Ag-Sc alloy
fabricated by direct energy deposition (DED) were investigated in detail. Dual-phase …
