Deformation twinning is an important plastic carrier competing with the ordinary dislocation
slip in a broad class of crystalline solids, which critically controls the mechanical properties …

Metastable β titanium alloys possess excellent strain-hardening capability, but suffer from a
low yield strength. As a result, numerous attempts have been made to strengthen this …

Over the past few decades, titanium (Ti) alloys containing fully or mostly body-centred cubic
β phase in metastable state have received considerable interest due to their elevated …

Titanium alloys produced by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) are known to possess fine
microstructures and multi-scale interfaces. Here, we introduce a high density of α'/β, α/β …

Aiming at overcoming the strength-ductility trade-off in structural Ti-alloys, a new family of
TRIP/TWIP Ti-alloys was developed in the past decade (TWIP: twinning-induced plasticity; …

Considering the great potential of extremely-low temperature applications, cryogenic tensile
properties and deformation behavior of a metastable β-Ti alloy Ti–15Mo–2Al were …

Fusion-based additive manufacturing (AM) offers a new opportunity to design metallic
materials with complex, direction-dependent mechanical properties by controlling the …

Diverse pathways of the deformation-induced transformations are investigated in the β-
metastable Ti–12Mo alloy displaying combined TWIP ({332}< 113> β twinning) and TRIP …

Titanium (Ti) alloys have been widely used as bone implants, but challenges such as the
stress shielding effect still compromise long-term clinical successes. To improve the …

High strain hardening rate is usually pursued for high ductility. Here we report that moderate
strain hardening rate is desired for producing better ductility and high yield strength, which is …
