Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is effective in producing bulk ultrafine-grained and
nanostructured materials with large densities of lattice defects. This field, also known as …

Bulk nanostructured (NS) materials processed by severe plastic deformation (SPD) have
received considerable attention for several decades. The physical origin of this processing …

Although many high-entropy alloys (HEAs) possess excellent mechanical properties, they
are not exempt from the common dilemma of strength–ductility trade-off in most cases, which …

Heterostructured materials have been reported to possess superior combinations of strength
and ductility, which is attributed to hetero-deformation induced (HDI) strengthening and work …

High strength and high electrically conductivity Cu-Ni-Si alloys are important candidate
materials for extending the life of currently used elastic-conductor materials. Phase …

The effect of back stress on the mechanical behaviors of heterogeneous material is studied
in two modeled heterogeneous laminates, ie laminated structure with a nanostructured (NS) …

A gradient nanocrystalline structure with the grain size ranging from nanometer scale at the
treated surface to micrometer scale in the matrix of the bulk coarse-grained TC4 alloy was …

Understanding the inter-zone interaction-dependent mechanical behavior of constituent
zones in heterostructured material is fundamental but challenging. Here we report …

After a short recall of various techniques that use shots to induce surface severe plastic
deformation and a brief survey of the advantages of having a gradient structure for …

The large strength difference between hard and soft components in heterogeneous
structured materials leads to the evolution of high back-stress hardening, which increases …
