Nanocrystalline materials with a grain size< 100 nm have attracted significant attention over
the past two decades. Various attempts have been made to prepare nanocrystalline …

Current developments in kinetic and thermodynamic stabilization of grains in nanostructured
metals, alloys, and compounds are generalized and discussed in detail. As applied to the …

Nanostructured metals are generally unstable; their grains grow rapidly even at low
temperatures, rendering them difficult to process and often unsuitable for usage. Alloying …

The segregation of solute atoms at grain boundaries (GBs) can profoundly impact the
structural properties of metallic alloys, and induce effects that range from strengthening to …

The segregation of transition metal elements to grain boundaries in steels plays a critical
role in determining their cohesion. Here, we investigate the segregation, co-segregation …

Control of discontinuous and continuous precipitation is crucial for tailoring the
microstructure and mechanical properties of NiAl-strengthened steels. Through a …

Grain boundary segregation has been established through both simulation and experiments
as a successful approach to stabilize nanocrystalline materials against grain growth …

Grain boundary segregation provides a method for stabilization of nanocrystalline metals—
an alloying element that will segregate to the boundaries can lower the grain boundary …

Solute segregation at grain boundaries (GBs) is emerging as an alloy design tool, uses of
which include the stabilization of nanocrystalline alloys. To predict the equilibrium …

As nanocrystalline (NC) materials exhibit many unique properties, which are often superior
to the properties of their coarse-grained counterparts, they offer significant potential for use …
