Ductility collapse is a stubborn issue for developing high-strength aluminum (Al) matrix
composites reinforced with graphene nanosheets (GNSs). In order to solve this problem …

The deformation-coordination ability between ductile metal and brittle dispersive ceramic
particles is poor, which means that an improvement in strength will inevitably sacrifice …

Improving the plasticity of TiAl alloys at room temperature has been a longstanding
challenge for the development of next-generation aerospace engines. By adopting the nacre …

ABSTRACT A Ti3C2 MXene/Ti composite powder was developed through surface
modification and powder coating for producing a high-performance titanium matrix …

Distribution states of reinforcement have considerable impact on the strength and ductility of
metal composites. Herein, we reported a “nanodispersion-in-grains” strategy to …

Here we report an “intragranular ultra-nano precipitation” strategy to strongly plasticizing
and simultaneously strengthen polycrystalline Cu alloys. Our strategy relies on a high …

Synchronous improvement of strength and ductility is a challenging and longstanding
problem in the further development and engineering applications of titanium matrix …

Strain localization is a common deformation induced instability in many nanograined metals.
Gradient nanograined metals are known to suppress the strain localization by inner coarse …

ABSTRACT Selective laser melted (SLMed) AlSi10Mg alloys usually fail before necking
during tensile tests, which results in inadequate ductility. To overcome this problem, here we …

A novel strategy of multistep ball milling was used to tune the multimodal grain structure in B
4 C microparticles and SiC nanowires hybrid reinforced 2024Al matrix composites (B 4 …
