This article reviews recent developments in small-scale mechanical property testing with
some emphasis on intermediate (meso) length scales in complex microstructures and …

Microscopic crystalline defects are of fundamental importance in unraveling the plastic
deformation response and thereby tailoring the macroscopic load-bearing performances of …

A gradient nanostructured (GNS) surface layer with full austenitic phase was synthesized on
AISI 316L stainless steel by surface mechanical rolling treatment at∼ 280° C. The mean …

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

Duplex stainless steel (DSS) blocks with dimensions of 150× 70x30 mm3 were fabricated by
Laser Metal Deposition with Wire (LMDw). Implementation of a programmable logic control …

A Cu precipitation-mediated austenitic transformation during ageing treatment of a 15–5 PH
stainless steel is revealed through atom probe tomography, in situ synchrotron X-ray …

To elucidate the characteristics of the nucleation and transformation of deformation-induced
martensitic transformation, detailed characterisations were performed during quasi-in-situ …

Similar to other metallic materials, duplex stainless steel dramatically loses its advantage of
high ductility as they are strengthened. Here, we produce a gradient nanograined dual …

Constitutive micromechanical behavior of transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) stainless
steel (SS) alloys was investigated using high-energy synchrotron x-ray diffraction (S-XRD) …

Computational materials design has made significant progress lately. However, one
underexploited opportunity lies in the combination of physically based modelling and …
