Additive manufacturing of industrially-relevant high-performance parts and products is today
a reality, especially for metal additive manufacturing technologies. The design complexity …

Nanostructured metallic materials having nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained structures
show exceptional mechanical properties, eg superior strength, that are very attractive for …

High strength of materials usually comes with low ductility due to the lost or short-lived strain
hardening. Here, we uncover a sequentially-activated multistage strain hardening (SMSH) …

Abstract Bulk nanostructured (ns)/ultrafine-grained (UFG) metallic materials possess very
high strength, making them attractive for high strength, lightweight and energy efficient …

This article reviews original work and important new developments in the field of
deformation behavior of high manganese face-centered cubic γ-Fe alloys. Owing to their …

Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys usually show relatively low strength and poor ductility at
room temperature due to their anisotropic hexagonal close-packed (HCP) crystal structure …

Abstract Metastability-engineering, eg, transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP), can
enhance the ductility of alloys, however it often comes at the expense of relatively low yield …

Laser-based powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing or three-dimensional printing
technology has gained tremendous attention due to its controllable, digital, and automated …

Due to lattice reorientation, grain segmentation, induced recrystallization, twins play a very
important role in regulating texture, refining grains, improving mechanical properties and …

The strength–ductility trade-off has been a long-standing dilemma in materials science. This
has limited the potential of many structural materials, steels in particular. Here we report a …
