Owing to their unique mechanical and functional properties, both amorphous and
nanocrystalline alloys have attracted extensive research interest over the past decades …

Increased use of reconstruction procedures in orthopedics, due to trauma, tumor, deformity,
degeneration and an aging population, has caused a blossom, not only in surgical …

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques such as laser shock peening (LSP) have been
widely adopted to modify microstructure of materials. Understanding the plastic deformation …

Bulk nanostructured (NS) materials processed by severe plastic deformation (SPD) have
received considerable attention for several decades. The physical origin of this processing …

The aim of this review article on recent developments of mechanochemistry (nowadays
established as a part of chemistry) is to provide a comprehensive overview of advances …

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 …

The microstructural response and grain subdivision process in commercially pure (CP)
titanium subjected to multiple laser shock peening (LSP) impacts were investigated by …

This article presents an overview of the developments in stainless steels made since the
1990s. Some of the new applications that involve the use of stainless steel are also …

Heterogeneous gradient nanostructured metals have been shown to achieve the strength-
ductility synergy, thus potentially possessing the enhanced tribological performance in …

In terms of the grain refinement mechanism induced by plastic straining, a novel surface
mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) was developed for synthesizing a nanostructured …
