This review compares the mechanical and thermal-electrical properties of sintered copper
(Cu) with sintered silver (Ag) as bonding materials in the microelectronics joint applications …

Forming alloys with impurity elements is a routine method for modifying the properties of
metals. An alternative approach involves the incorporation of interfaces into the crystalline …

Abstract Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) porous structures are recognized as the
most promising bionic artificial structures for tissue engineering. The fatigue properties of …

By means of surface mechanical rolling treatment (SMRT), a gradient nanostructured (GNS)
surface layer was formed on AISI 316L stainless steel. The mean grain size is∼ 30 nm in the …

Strengthening materials traditionally involves the controlled creation of internal defects and
boundaries so as to obstruct dislocation motion. Such strategies invariably compromise …

The mechanical properties of nanocrystalline materials are reviewed, with emphasis on their
constitutive response and on the fundamental physical mechanisms. In a brief introduction …

During the last decade, equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) has emerged as a widely-
known procedure for the fabrication of ultrafine-grained metals and alloys. This review …

A methodology is presented for optimal polyhedral description of 3D polycrystals from
experimental properties. This is achieved by determining, by optimization, appropriate …

Nearly 90 per cent of service failures of metallic components and structures are caused by
fatigue at cyclic stress amplitudes much lower than the tensile strength of the materials …

Nanocrystalline metals and alloys, with average and range of grain sizes typically smaller
than 100 nm, have been the subject of considerable research in recent years. Such interest …
