In this paper, we systematically proposed the strategy of tailoring strain delocalization to
evade long-standing strength-ductility trade-off dilemma. The scientific contribution is to …

Abstract Layered Ti-Al metal composite (LMC) was designed and fabricated by hot-rolling
and annealing of pure Ti and Al sheets. The as-prepared composite exhibits high tensile …

Since the 1980s, vacuum hot rolling has been developed to fabricate the stainless steel clad
plates by the Iron and Steel Institute of Japan. Herein, hot rolling is a widely used solid-state …

The interfacial stress-affected zone (ISAZ), characterized by a stress gradient maximizing at
the interface, is considered a key factor in determining the mechanical properties of …

Current heterostructured materials demonstrate the high potential to circumvent strength-
ductility tradeoff but face challenges with unconfigurable hetero-zone distribution and …

A brittle/ductile multilayered composite was designed and fabricated by reaction annealing
of pure Ti and Al foils, and comprised alternating α-Ti (Al) layer, α+ α 2 dual-phase layer, and …

Fully recrystallized ultrafine-grained (UFG) pure Cu specimens were fabricated by high-
pressure torsion (HPT) and controlled annealing. The recrystallized UFG Cu with a minimum …

Abstract Al/Ti/Al laminated metal composites (LMCs), with layer thicknesses≥ 800 μm, were
fabricated via hot rolling bonding and annealing. The fabricated Al/Ti/Al LMCs displayed …

Uniaxial compression tests conducted at various strain rates were performed to uncover the
strain-rate dependent deformation mechanism of micro-pillars fabricated from bulk …

The layered structural parameters have been reported to be critical for tuning the tensile
properties of laminated metals. Here, we investigated the effects of the thickness ratio (rc/f) of …
