This study deals with the evolution of strength and microstructure in Cu–20Ag alloy during
wire drawing from an initial diameter of 7.84 mm–0.02 mm. The final wire had a strength of …

Abstract A Cu–9Ni–6Sn alloy bar with pronounced axial columnar grains and a diameter of
10.5 mm was fabricated by using directional solidification technology, which was directly …

Small carbon materials, such as graphene, offer excellent mechanical strength. Micro/nano
carbon materials are often dispersed into a metal matrix to form bulk composites with …

A finite strain micromechanical-based constitutive model is developed for multi-phase
polycrystal to characterize the interplay among strain hardening, texture evolution, and …

Abstract 3 GPa-strength stainless steel wire was prepared. Sub-20 nm martensite generated
from original austenite which is metastable and possesses low stacking fault energy. Based …

Mechanical property characterization of micro-scale material systems, such as free-standing
films or small diameter wires (< 20 µm), often requires expensive, specialized test systems …

Grain refinement is the most common strategy to improve the mechanical performance of
metals such as strength, wear resistance and fatigue. For the 2101 duplex stainless steel …

This study delves into the strengthening deformation mechanism of secondary phase
evolution in 5356 aluminum alloy wires after multiple consecutive stretching processes …

Skin-shearing phenomenon owing to friction heat during a round-to-half circle drawing
(RtHCD) is revealed using the non-isothermal finite element method assisted by the novel …
