Sn microalloying can depress the adverse effect of natural aging after quenching (ie, room-
temperature storage) of Al–Mg–Si alloys. However, the other effect of Sc micro-addition to …

12} twinning is an important deformation mechanism for hexagonal metals; however, its
characteristically low critical stress and resulting high twin activity often lead to rapid strain …

In this work, a multi-phase Zr-30Ti-7Nb-4Sn alloy with large near-linear elastic deformability
was prepared by the solution treatment plus pre-straining (STP) treatment, and the …

Fracture of metallic thin films during deformation hampers extensive applications of coated
engineering components. In this study, the resistance to micro-crack initiation of Niobium …

Through an understanding of diffusion, precise control of the size distribution of nano-
precipitates can be essential to develo** superior properties in precipitation-strengthened …

A novel deep cryogenic-interrupted aging treatment (DCI4) was developed to enhance
mechanical properties, improve productivity, and reduce energy consumption. Compared to …

In this paper, the property degradation micromechanism of Al-5.10 Cu-0.65 Mg-0.8 Mn (wt%)
alloy induced by 0.5 wt% Fe minor addition was revealed by atomic-scale scanning …

The study of transition metal ion-doped semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) has attracted
increasing attention due to their unique optical, electronic, and magnetic properties which …

Recent studies of FeMnCoCr-based high entropy alloys (HEA) have demonstrated
uncommon deformation behaviors such as transformation-induced plasticity, which were …
