Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is effective in producing bulk ultrafine-grained and
nanostructured materials with large densities of lattice defects. This field, also known as …

As a relatively simple top–down technique to produce nanomaterials in bulk, severe plastic
deformation became a new way of transforming the microstructure of the material. When …

Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) often have low ductility, which has been a long-lasting
issue in the last few decades. This problem arises largely from the non-deformability of …

Heterostructures can effectively break the traditional strength-ductility trade-off dilemma.
However, how the texture of materials with heterostructure under hetero-deformation …

Synchronous improvement of strength and ductility is a challenging and longstanding
problem in the further development and engineering applications of titanium matrix …

Heterostructure metals as a new class of materials can effectively break the traditional
strength–ductility trade-off dilemma. In this study, the extruded sheet with the small extrusion …

Most high-performance Mg alloy samples obtained by severe plastic deformation processes
are difficult to implement in industrial utilization due to their small size. The strength of large …

Introducing a bimodal grain-size distribution has been demonstrated an efficient strategy for
fabricating high-strength and ductile metallic materials, where fine grains provide strength …

Abstract Al/Ti/Al laminated metal composites (LMCs), with layer thicknesses≥ 800 μm, were
fabricated via hot rolling bonding and annealing. The fabricated Al/Ti/Al LMCs displayed …

X-ray line profile analysis is an effective and non-destructive method for the characterization
of the microstructure in crystalline materials. Supporting research in the area of x-ray line …
