Transmission Kikuchi diffraction (TKD), also known as transmission electron backscatter
diffraction (t-EBSD), has received significant interest for the characterisation of …

Strength-ductility trade-off is usually an inevitable scenario in most engineering materials,
including metal matrix composites (MMCs) where reinforcement particles significantly …

Superplastic formation technology is considered to be an effective and promising method to
conquer formation difficulties of Al alloys, especially thin‐walled or complex structure. In this …

The effects of nanosized reinforcement particles on precipitation reactions in age-
hardenable Al alloy matrix composites have been largely unknown. In this work, an Al–Zn …

Depletion of solutes on particle-Al interfaces in particulates reinforced precipitate-hardening
Al composites was harmful to strength. A two-step strategy including bimodal structure …

Abstract An Al–Cu matrix composite reinforced with uniformly-distributed micron-and nano-
double-sized TiC particles (MNDS-TiC ps) was successfully fabricated using a wire and arc …

We investigated the precipitation behavior and mechanical properties of naturally aged Al–
7.6 Zn–2.7 Mg–2.0 Cu–0.1 Zr–0.07 Ti (wt.%) alloy using various experimental methods …

The mechanical properties, corrosion behavior, and microstructures of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy
during non-isothermal ageing (NIA) process were investigated. The results suggest that …

The effects of ageing treatment on corrosion behavior of 7075 aluminum alloy coated by
MAO have been investigated. The results suggest that precipitates (GPI, GP II zones, η and …

Designing heterogeneous structures is a promising pathway for overcoming the trade-off
between strength and toughness in metal matrix composites (MMCs). Herein, we report an …
