Heterostructured (HS) materials are a new class of materials that are composed of
heterogeneous zones with dramatically different (> 100%) mechanical or physical …

Magnesium, its alloys and composites with an approximate density of two-thirds of aluminum
and a quarter of steel are the most prominent engineering materials in various industries …

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

This chapter presents a perspective on heterostructured materials, a new class of materials
possessing superior combinations of strength and ductility that are not accessible to their …

Steels with medium manganese (Mn) content (3∼ 12 wt-%) have emerged as a new alloy
class and received considerable attention during the last decade. The microstructure and …

Abstract Nano-lamellar (L12+ B2) AlCoCrFeNi2. 1 eutectic high entropy alloy (EHEA) was
processed by cryo-rolling and annealing. The EHEA developed a novel hierarchical …

This chapter reports a design strategy to combine the benefits from both gradient structure
and transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP). The resultant TRIP-gradient steel takes …

The year 2004 marked the beginning of a new era in the design of metallic materials, as the
concept of multiple principal component alloys, commonly known as High-Entropy Alloys …

The combination of different phase constituents to realize a mechanical composite effect for
superior strength-ductility synergy has become an important strategy in microstructure …

Systematic study was conducted on the microstructures and mechanical properties of nickel
samples with two distinct types of heterostructures. The first is featured with coarse-grained …
