The high-entropy alloy (HEA) concept was based on the idea that high mixing entropy can
promote formation of stable single-phase microstructures. During the past 15 years, various …

Abstract Third-generation Al–Li alloys, represented by 2195 Al–Li alloy, have considerable
application opportunities in lightweight aerospace structures. This work investigates the …

The precipitates play a significant role in not only enhancing the strength, but also
maintaining the high toughness in alloys. However, the interactions of the nanoscale …

High-strength metal alloys achieve their performance via careful control of precipitates and
solutes. The nucleation, growth, and kinetics of precipitation, and the resulting mechanical …

Molecular dynamics (MD) shows a difference in the mechanisms of fracture of iron under
uniaxial and isotropic tension. Uniaxial tension leads to the formation of a complex …

The conventional role played by precipitates in crystalline solids is in blocking the motion of
dislocations and for consequentially hardening, a mechanism attributed to Orowan's finding …

We investigate the deformation of aluminum alloy containing copper in the form of fine Al-Cu
clusters 1–4 nm in diameter with multiscale approach. A part of these precipitates (clusters of …

The influence of different types of precipitates (either Guinier-Preston zones, θ ″or θ′) on
the critical resolved shear stress and strain hardening was determined by means of …

The age hardening response and tensile properties in an Al-Cu alloy pre-deformed by 20-
80% and post-aged at 120-165° C have been examined to study the effect of mixed …

We develop the theory of homogeneous nucleation of dislocations, which predicts plasticity
incipience in FCC single crystal using material properties at elastic stage. In contrast to …
