Forming alloys with impurity elements is a routine method for modifying the properties of
metals. An alternative approach involves the incorporation of interfaces into the crystalline …

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

Overcoming the trade-off between strength and ductility in metallic materials is a grand
challenge. Recently, materials with a gradient nano-grained (GNG) surface layer adhering to …

This study aims to investigate the deformation mechanisms of an austenite-based duplex Fe–
Mn–Al–C steel at room-temperature through uniaxial tensile tests, strain rate sensitivity and …

A novel high-strength metastable β-Ti alloy Ti-5Al-4Zr-8Mo-7V has been successfully
designed utilizing the “d-electron theory” combined with the semi-empirical element …

Strengthening of TiAl-based intermetallic alloy is vital for its broader application, however,
microstructural refinement through conventional processes is difficult to further strengthen …

We investigate the cryogenic deformation response and underlying mechanisms of a carbon-
doped interstitial high-entropy alloy (iHEA) with a nominal composition of Fe 49.5 Mn 30 Co …

A bulk nanostructured solutionized iron-based superalloy consisting of nanotwins and
dislocation structures was prepared by means of dynamic plastic deformation at a high strain …

We elucidate here the determining role of grain size and strain rate on the mechanical
behavior of a series of twinning induced plasticity steels (Fe–20Mn–0.6 C) with average …

This paper focuses on microstructural and mechanical characterization of metallic thin-
walled tube produced with additive manufacturing (AM), as a promising alternative …
