Microstructure features directly reflect mechanical responses during material deformation
and can influence the surface integrity of machined components, which is of great interest to …

Three factors govern adiabatic shear localization: strain hardening (or softening), strain-rate
hardening, and thermal softening. It is typically associated with large shear strains (> 1), high …

Microstructural evolution in adiabatic shear bands of a Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al (wt.%) alloy
subjected to high strain-rate dynamic loading was investigated in detail via high-resolution …

Due to their strong strain hardening, face-centered cubic (FCC) high/medium entropy alloys
(H/MEAs) have remarkable resistance to shear localization even under forced dynamic …

Shear localization is an important failure mode, or even the dominant mode in metals at high-
strain rates. However, it is a great challenge to accurately predict the occurrence and …

Compacted graphite iron (CGI), a prototypical heterogeneous material, potentially
demonstrates distinctive cutting deformation behaviours attributed to the random distribution …

The performances of the cutting fluids have recently been under investigation to drive
machining operations towards cleaner and more sustainable targets. Several efforts are …

Laser-assisted machining (LAM) has demonstrated exceptional performance in terms of
improving the machinability of difficult-to-cut materials like Ti6Al4V. This study reveals a …

Abstract Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology offers great flexibility in manufacturing
complex parts. However, secondary processing of selective laser melted (SLMed) parts is …

Adiabatic shear band (ASB) is a significant failure mechanism observed in metals and alloys
under impact loading. Though ASB formation has been widely assumed to be a one …
