Phase transitions are a common phenomenon in condensed matter and act as a critical
degree of freedom that can be employed to tailor the mechanical or electronic properties of …

The deformation and structural evolution characteristics of cementite in tribolayers
significantly impact the friction and wear properties of pearlitic steels. However, the …

The high-pressure torsion (HPT) of binary copper alloys with 3, 5, 8, 10 wt.% Ag and 14 wt.%
Sn has been studied at room temperature T HPT. Before HPT, the Cu–Ag alloys have been …

The in situ formation of a self-lubricating surface is potentially valuable and greatly
significant for reducing wear in many steel material applications, especially nanocomposite …

ACOM/TEM is an automated electron diffraction pattern indexing tool that enables the
structure, phase and crystallographic orientation of materials to be routinely determined. The …

Bulk nanocrystalline ferrite with a grain size below 20 nm is stabilized thanks to grain
boundary segregations of carbon atoms. This structure has been obtained through severe …

The torsion behavior of pearlitic steel wires is investigated and the conditions responsible for
torsion delamination are determined. Experimental results reveal that the morphology and …

Internal structure of nano-scale cementite has exhibited a critical impact on mechanical
performance for various heavily strained high-carbon steel materials. Through a …

Abstract 8Cr4Mo4V, as an ideal choice for aeroengines bearing materials, involves multi-
scale damage mechanisms during the process of material failure. Herein, we propose a …

The mechanical properties of music wire are contingent upon its microstructure, which in
turn influences its applications in music. Chinese stringed instruments necessitate exacting …
