We briefly review the state-of-the-art in phase-field modeling of microstructure evolution. The
focus is placed on recent applications of phase-field simulations of solid-state microstructure …

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted great attention because they provide diversified
possibilities for obtaining many exceptional properties. They are expected to serve as …

In this paper, we present a novel two-step intercritical annealing process, ie a-few-minute
interruption during heating followed by a short intercritical annealing, to improve the …

Nanostructuring metals through nanograins and nanotwins is an efficient strategy for
strength increase as the mean free path of dislocations is reduced. Yet, nanostructures are …

The microstructure stability during δ sub-solvus annealing in Inconel 718 was investigated,
focusing on the conditions that may lead to the development of very large grains (about 100 …

The trade-off between strength and ductility has been a dilemma in copper matrix
composites. In this work, we introduce a way of strengthening copper matrix composites …

Precipitation of V carbides is known to suppress the hydrogen-embrittlement (HE)
phenomenon as well as to increase material strength. Despite increasing attention to V …

Molybdenum (Mo) alloys with different La 2 O 3 particle additions (0.6, 0.9, 1.5 wt.%) were
prepared by powder metallurgy to investigate the effect of La 2 O 3 particles on …

Zener pinning refers to the dispersion of fine particles which influences grain size
distribution via movement of grain boundaries in a polycrystalline material. Grain size …

Abstract Immiscible Cu-Ta alloys produced by mechanical alloying are currently the subject
of intensive research due to their mechanical strength combined with extraordinary structural …
