Outstanding combination of strength and ductility of the Al-Mg-Li alloy could be achieved
using the efficient and energy saving route of cold rolling combined with two steps of …

The voids caused by the cold rolling (CR) quite deteriorates the final performance of M50
bearing steel. In this work, the effect of electropulsing treatment (EPT) on the voids has been …

Thermal-hydrogen treatment can effectively refine the microstructure and improve the
thermoforming, machining performance and superplasticity of titanium alloy. In this study …

Prestrained at 5% and 15% duplex stainless steel UNS S32750 specimens have been
subjected to electropulsing treatments with current density of 100 A/mm2 and 200 A/mm2 …

This paper studied the influence of pulse current (PC) on the plastic deformation of pre-
deformed AZ31B magnesium alloy. Compared to the sample subjected to no current (NC) …

High strength (the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength are 1920±17 MPa and
2241±39 MPa, respectively) and good ductility (15.2±1.1%) are achieved simultaneously in …

The typical microstructure of the laser melting deposition (LMD) additive-manufactured Ti-
6.5 Al-3.5 Mo-1.5 Zr-0.3 Si alloy (TC11) contains the heat-affected bands (HABs), the narrow …
