Most industrial alloys contain a matrix phase and dispersed second-phase particles. Several
thermomechanical processing (TMP) steps are usually needed to produce a final product …

Nanostructured materials contain an extremely high density of interfaces. The properties of
these materials when exposed to extreme conditions of radiation dose, stress, deformation …

Materials often fail prematurely or catastrophically under load while containing voids, posing
a challenge to materials manufacturing. We found that a metal (gold) containing spherical …

As-processed metals and alloys by selective laser melting (SLM), or laser powder bed fusion
(L-PBF), are often full of defects and flaws such as dislocations, twins, elemental …

This paper presents a study of the strain hardening of a 7000 series aluminium alloy. A wide
variety of microstructural states are tested both in uniaxial tension and by performing …

In fusion reactor environment, helium bubble acts as a crucial inducement to the
performance degradation of plasma facing tungsten, leading to irradiation hardening and …

Helium (He) bubbles are typical radiation defects in structural materials in nuclear reactors
after high dose energetic particle irradiation. In the past decades, extensive studies have …

Cold-drawn pearlitic steel wires have attracted considerable interest because of their
excellent combination of strength and ductility. The physical interpretation of these …

The deformation mechanism of an eutectic high-entropy alloy (EHEA) AlCoCrFeNi 2.1 at
elevated temperature has been studied by tensile test, microstructure analysis and …

Interfaces are good traps for implanted He, but are also susceptible to He-induced
embrittlement. Better understanding of the mechanisms of He interactions with interfaces …
