Enhancing both strength and ductility simultaneously in commercial alloys at an industrial
scale remains a challenging task. In this study, we have demonstrated a simple heat …

The yield strength of metals is typically governed by the average grain size through the Hall-
Petch relation, and it usually follows the rule of mixture (ROM) for layered composite …

A pre-cold-deformation process was applied for commercially pure titanium at cryogenic
temperature to activate high-density deformation twins, and subsequent hot-deformation …

Abstract Fully lamellar Ti-6Al-4V alloys comprise body-centered cubic (BCC) β lamellae in
large-sized, hexagonal close-packed (HCP) α colonies and exhibit outstanding toughness …

Deformation twinning is a prevalent plastic deformation mode in hexagonal close-packed
(HCP) materials, such as magnesium, titanium, and zirconium, and their alloys …

A novel hybrid forming method combining the electromagnetic (EM) and quasi-static (QS)
forming methods is developed to improve the forming performance of ultra-thin titanium …

The deformation behavior of commercially pure rolled titanium subjected to strain path
changes is studied using experiments and a crystal plasticity model. Four different loading …

Deformation twinning has a significant impact on the evolution of microstructure and
mechanical response in hexagonal close packed (hcp) metals. Understanding the physical …

On the basis of the order in which twinning occurs, twins are termed primary, secondary, and
tertiary. In HCP materials, compression twins (CT) and extension twins (ET) are observed to …

Abstract Although {10 1¯ 2} twinning behavior has been extensively studied, it has rarely
been investigated under biaxial tension. In the present research, the mechanical response …
