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

In recent years, a new class of metallic materials featuring heterogeneous structures has
emerged. These materials consist of distinct soft and hard domains with significant …

Most of the high-strength Mg alloys exhibit poor ductility at room temperature. Architecturing
appropriate heterostructure in metallic materials gives rise to the breakthrough of the …

Abstract High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) are a new class of multi-component alloys with
excellent tensile strength-ductility combination. Their yield strength levels, however, are still …

Abstract Environmentally degradable Zn–0.8 Mn alloy is highly ductile, which lays the
foundation for develo** high-performance Zn–Mn-based alloys. However, not only …

A pre-cold-deformation process was applied for commercially pure titanium at cryogenic
temperature to activate high-density deformation twins, and subsequent hot-deformation …

The hot deformation behavior of a Co–Ni-based superalloy was systematically investigated
using thermal compression tests. Stress–strain curves showed a typical dynamic softening …

Introducing a bimodal grain-size distribution has been demonstrated an efficient strategy for
fabricating high-strength and ductile metallic materials, where fine grains provide strength …

Designing heterogeneous microstructure is a promising way to overcome the
tensile/compressive yield asymmetry in light weight Magnesium metal matrix composites …

An investigation of the quantitative effect of the deformation process on the deformation
mode, texture evolution, and their internal relationship could help control the mechanical …
