A strength-ductility trade-off usually occurs when grains are refined to increase strength. A
question arises on if there exists a grain size for the best strength-ductility combination, ie …

Steels are preferred in the building of commercial ships because they can be easily welded
and supplied. Although it varies according to the parts of the ships, it is known that high …

Friction stir processing (FSP) was evolved as a potential technique for producing surface
composites. Processed surface properties of soft and hard materials such as; hardness …

The A7075 alloy metal matrix composites with various micro and nano particle
reinforcements were enhanced matrix materials properties for applications in airbus …

High strength-ductility-toughness is required for the usage of interstitial-free (IF) steel sheets
in the automotive industry. However, strength and ductility are contradictory. In the current …

Traditional efforts in the design of damage-tolerant structural materials were largely
exercises in optimizing the combination of strength and ductility. However, the simultaneous …

Abstract Effect of single-pass friction stir processing (FSP) on the impact toughness of a low
carbon steel mainly used in shipbuilding was investigated via Charpy impact test at different …

Accurately improving the mechanical properties of low-alloy steel by changing the alloying
elements and heat treatment processes is of interest. There is a mutual relationship between …

The influence of friction stir processing (FSP) on the microstructure and mechanical
properties of a DP 600 steel has been studied. The microstructure evolution during the FSP …

In the present study, friction stir processing (FSP) was carried out on as-cast Mg-Zn-Dy alloy
to tailor grain size and texture which alter the mechanical properties and corrosion …
