Alloys with ultra-high strength and sufficient ductility are highly desired for modern
engineering applications but difficult to develop. Here we report that, by a careful controlling …

The demands for high-performance biomaterials are driving the development of new
metallic alloys with improved mechanical and biological responses. In this study, a …

Objectives Allergic reactions are rare and poorly understood complications of
neuromodulation device implantation. There are currently no guidelines for management of …

In this study, a new series of Ti-Ta-Zr-Nb alloys (Ti-38.3 Ta-22Zr-8.1 Nb, Ti-38.9 Ta-25Zr-
5Nb, Ti-39.5 Ta-28Zr-2.5 Nb, designated TTZN-1, TTZN-2, TTZN-3, respectively) with high …

Microstructure evolution and strengthening mechanisms of MP159 superalloy during room
temperature rolling (RTR) and cryorolling (CR) were studied by using the XRD, EBSD and …

A two-step processing route including cold working (primary hardening) followed by
annealing-induced (secondary) hardening is proposed to strengthen single-phase face …

The recently emerged CoCrNi-based medium-entropy alloys (MEAs)/high-entropy alloys
(HEAs) have a good combination of high strength and ductility. However, there are still …

This paper reports the influence of substrates and peak current densities on: crystallographic
textures; twin density, thickness, spacing and twin boundary orientations; and electrical …

The mechanism of secondary hardening in MP35N (Co–35Ni–20Cr–10Mo) alloy due to
exposures at elevated temperatures has been studied. It was observed that short exposure …

Using a thermal–mechanical process, the average grain size of Co35Ni34Cr24Mo7 medium
entropy alloy was reduced to 2 μm, resulted in 50% improvement of hardness. In this way …
