Heterostructured (HS) materials, characterized by heterogeneous zones with differences in
mechanical or physical properties, represent a revolutionary advancement in material …

Enhancing both strength and ductility simultaneously in commercial alloys at an industrial
scale remains a challenging task. In this study, we have demonstrated a simple heat …

The poor mechanical and tribological properties limit the higher requirements of aluminum
alloys in engineering and industrial applications, which leads to the rapid development of …

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 …

To obtain a synergistic combination of high strength and high ductility in titanium alloys,
design and creation of heterogenous precipitate microstructure have attracted increasing …

In metals with homogeneous microstructure, whether there is a critical grain size, and
exactly at which, that enables the optimal strength-ductility synergy alongside the trade-off …

ABSTRACT Deformation incompatibility in Ti/Nb laminates under uniaxial tension was
revealed by in-situ neutron diffraction. During uniform deformation of the bulk laminates, the …

Recently, heterogeneous structured materials have attracted considerable attention due to
their excellent mechanical properties. In this work, a heterostructured Al–AlN/Al–Mg …

Due to the contradictory relationship between strength and toughness, many novel
structures have been designed to overcome the tradeoff dilemma. In this paper, pure copper …

Here we advocate the strategic design of dispersed heterostructure to retain ductility and
toughness in high-strength metals, using the equiatomic CrCoNi alloy as an example …
