Abstract Bulk nanostructured (ns)/ultrafine-grained (UFG) metallic materials possess very
high strength, making them attractive for high strength, lightweight and energy efficient …

The conventional role played by precipitates in crystalline solids is in blocking the motion of
dislocations and for consequentially hardening, a mechanism attributed to Orowan's finding …

The interaction between dislocations and nano-precipitates during deformation directly
influences hardening response of precipitation-strengthening metals such as Al-Mg-Si …

By using laser cladding (LC), high entropy alloy coatings (HEACs) with FeNiCoCr as the
base material and TiC added directly (D-TiC) and in-situ (I-TiC) were created. The phase …

A novel ultra-high strength precipitation hardened martensitic steel with balanced ductility
and creep resistance has been developed. It utilises a unique combination of nanometre …

Since their advent in 2004, high-entropy alloys have allured the field of materials science
and engineering. Laser cladding technology, with its advantages of a small heat-affected …

In the present work, selective laser melting (SLM) technology was utilized for manufacturing
CX stainless steel samples under a series of laser parameters. The effect of laser linear …

This paper presents a study of the strain hardening of a 7000 series aluminium alloy. A wide
variety of microstructural states are tested both in uniaxial tension and by performing …

Martensite is an important microstructure in ultrahigh-strength steels, and enhancing the
strength of martensitic steels often involves the introduction of precipitated phases within the …

A novel ultra-high strength maraging stainless steel with a chemical composition of Fe-11.5
Cr-8.5 Co-8.0 Ni-5.0 Mo-1.2 Al-0.01 C (in wt.%) has been developed. It utilizes a unique …
