A single-phase bimodal grain structure is considered to develop a physical model to quantify
hetero-deformation induced (HDI) strengthening at the yield point, which cannot be simply …

The mechanical and electrochemical properties of AISI420 martensitic stainless steels
(MSS) tempered at different temperatures (200, 400, and 600℃) are systematically …

Heterostructured dual-phase (DP) steels comprising different martensite volume fractions
(HS740 steel, VM: 41%; HS780 steel, VM: 54%) were produced by cold rolling and …

Martensitic transformation significantly increases the strength of low-carbon steels, while it is
usually at expense of the formability and ductility. In order to further improve the mechanical …

There is little review work concerning the safety of electric vehicles (EVs) in the crash
conditions, leading to the fact that many people, even including those who have been …

Abstract Medium-Mn steels (MMnS) exhibit superior strength and ductility via the
transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) of retained austenite. However, to realize the …

The steels with excellent strength and ductility are expected to be achieved by tailoring the
microstructural features. In this work, laminate dual-phase (DP) steels with high martensite …

The hetero-structure with multi-material is believed to possess excessive potential to retard
the strength-ductility trade-off. In this work, bimetallic hierarchical structures (BHSs) of hot …

In this work, an innovative cyclic intercritical quenching process has been proposed for
achieving excellent mechanical properties in terms of strength and plasticity, which results in …

To synergistically improve the strength-ductility of copper alloys used in the miniaturized
component, Cu-3.2 Ti-0.2 Fe-0.2 V alloy with heterogeneous structure was obtained by …
