Heterostructured (HS) materials are a new class of materials that are composed of
heterogeneous zones with dramatically different (> 100%) mechanical or physical …

Gradient structures found in biological materials have served as a source of inspiration for
scientists seeking to enhance the performance of metals and alloys over the past decades …

A porous high entropy alloy (HEA) coating was prepared on a steel surface by vacuum
sintering. The coating was then used as a transition layer during dissimilar laser joining of Al …

The effects of small additions of calcium (0.1% and 0.5% 1) on the dynamic recrystallization
behavior and mechanical properties of as-extruded Mg-1Mn-0.5 Al alloys were investigated …

Due to the poor compatibility between the reinforcement and Cu matrix, interfacial bonding
is of vital importance for the comprehensive properties of graphene nanoplatelets …

Based on practical application requirements, the Cu alloy matrix with precipitates,
particularly obstructing dislocation gliding, offers a promising pathway to substantially …

A gradient microstructure was successfully fabricated by high-frequency induction
quenching treatment (HFIQT) to improve the mechanical behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy in this …

In metals with homogeneous microstructure, whether there is a critical grain size, and
exactly at which, that enables the optimal strength-ductility synergy alongside the trade-off …

Here the combination of synergistic strengthening and strain delocalization effects is
realized in high-manganese steel by gradient microstructure designing, which results in an …

The hetero-zone boundary affected region (HBAR) significantly influences the mechanical
