Ductile rupture in metals is a phenomenon that affects a wide range of applications from
forming of automotive body panels to failure of pressure vessels. The incipient stage …

Discontinuously reinforced titanium matrix composites (DRTMCs), as one of the most
important metal matrix composites (MMCs), are expected to exhibit high strength, elastic …

In this research, the tensile deformation behavior and fracture mechanism of linear friction
welded dissimilar Ti17 (α+ β)/Ti17 (β) titanium alloy joint were investigated in-depth by in …

Simultaneously investigating strain partitioning and the underlying deformation mechanisms
for both the grain interior and the grain boundary (GB) is essential for understanding the …

The potential of dislocations (line defects) in ceramics may have been greatly underrated
until most recently. Promising proofs‐of‐concept have been demonstrated for dislocation …

Grain boundaries (GBs) are central defects for describing polycrystalline materials, and
playing major role in a wide-range of physical properties of polycrystals. Control over GB …

Pre-twinning was used to tailor the strength and ductility of AZ31 magnesium alloy.
Simultaneous enhancements in both ductility and strength were achieved in the AZ31 after …

Adjacent grains slip transfer is an important mechanism for metal adaptation to
incompatibilities in intergranular deformation. Thus, this paper investigates slip transmission …

This study investigated the plastic deformation behavior of a polycrystalline L1 2-structured
FeCoNiV high-entropy alloy (HEA) using in situ electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and …

High-resolution digital image correlation was employed to analyze the occurrence of slip
transfer across grain boundaries in pure Ti. The microstructure was characterized in 3D …
