Forming alloys with impurity elements is a routine method for modifying the properties of
metals. An alternative approach involves the incorporation of interfaces into the crystalline …

The authors review the recent advances in the development of high‐strength titanium alloys.
First, they summarize conventional strengthening approaches and their mechanisms …

Alloys that have high strengths at high temperatures are crucial for a variety of important
industries including aerospace. Alloys with ordered superlattice structures are attractive for …

The limitation of nanograined materials is their strong tendency to coarsen at elevated
temperatures. As grain size decreases into the nanoscale, grain coarsening occurs at much …

High atomic diffusivity in metals enables substantial tuneability of their structure and
properties by tailoring the diffusional processes, but this causes their customized properties …

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 …

Nanocrystalline metallic materials have the merit of high strength but usually suffer from poor
ductility and rapid grain coarsening, limiting their practical application. Here, we introduce a …

To prevent dendrite growth and hydrogen evolution reaction, directional epitaxial growth of
Zn2+ ions on Zn anode, especially along the lowest‐surface‐energy Zn (0002) plane, is …

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