Heterostructured materials comprised of relatively soft/hard disparate phases typically
exhibit composite strengthening but lack plastic deformability at ambient temperatures …

The study on the deformation mechanism of titanium alloys is beneficial to revealing the
influence of microstructure on mechanical properties, and then providing guidance for the …

As one of the representative characteristics of plastic deformation, microstructural plastic
strain inhomogeneity has triggered a broad interest in uncovering the corresponding …

Abstract Ti-6Al, Ti-6Al-2Mo and Ti-6Al-3Nb alloys were prepared to investigate the
toughening effects of β stabilizers Mo and Nb on impact toughness and crack resistance of …

Microstructural plastic strain distribution evolution is highly heterogeneous even in single-
phase alloys. One of the important factors that govern this heterogeneity is slip/twinning …

Multi-phase titanium (Ti) alloys exhibit highly heterogeneous plastic deformation patterns.
Understanding the micro-mechanisms of plastic deformation causing strain heterogeneity is …

In this work, we explore the effect of strain rate and crystallographic texture on the hardening
behaviour and ductility of grade 2 commercially pure titanium (CP–Ti) plate at both room …

The slip transmission across an interface is essential for the mechanical properties of dual-
phase alloys like Ti-6Al-4 V. However, the correlation between the dislocation-interface …

In this study, we have investigated the effects of heat treatment and loading direction on
anisotropic compressive behaviour of additively manufactured (AM) Ti–6Al–4V ELI (extra …

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