Abstract Bulk nanostructured (ns)/ultrafine-grained (UFG) metallic materials possess very
high strength, making them attractive for high strength, lightweight and energy efficient …

The physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of tungsten are at the far limits of all
engineering materials. These unique properties, particularly ultra-high strength, density, and …

Refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs) are designed for high elevated-temperature
strength, with both edge and screw dislocations playing an important role for plastic …

Refractory tungsten (W) is notoriously brittle at room temperature, which restricts its
workability and narrows the temperature range of critical applications. Here, we report a …

Refractory multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) have exceptional mechanical properties,
including high strength-to-weight ratio and fracture toughness, at high temperatures. Here …

Ever more extreme environments in advancing industrial applications motivate efforts to
design new generation of alloys with excellent mechanical properties. High entropy alloys …

Atomistic simulations of dislocation mobility reveal that body-centered cubic (BCC) high-
entropy alloys (HEAs) are distinctly different from traditional BCC metals. HEAs are …

Due to the structurally disordered arrangement of atoms and deviation from thermodynamic
equilibrium, the physical and mechanical properties of metallic glasses can vary with time …

Interphase boundaries are essential in the deformation and phase transformations in
titanium (Ti) alloys. While static structures of semicoherent α/β interfaces in various Ti alloys …

In fusion reactor environment, helium bubble acts as a crucial inducement to the
performance degradation of plasma facing tungsten, leading to irradiation hardening and …
