Nowadays, advanced aluminum matrix composites (AAMCs) are known as the dominant
emerging materials employable in different industrial sectors. The reason behind the use of …

Nano metallic laminates (NMLs) exhibit exceptional strengths. The viability of NMLs as
structural materials, however, is also conditioned on their ductility and work-hardenability …

Bio-inspired mimicking natural structures generally duplicate the three dimensional “hard
brick-and-soft mortar” structure that may overcome the intrinsic brittleness of the brick …

In this work, we synthesized a FeCoNiCrCu high entropy alloy film (HEAF) via magnetron
sputtering, which exhibited a metastable single FCC phase with random chemical …

Nanoscale metallic multilayers (NMMs) have attracted significant attention owing to their
enhanced mechanical properties and excellent thermal stability. However, the underlying …

Strain localization is a common deformation induced instability in many nanograined metals.
Gradient nanograined metals are known to suppress the strain localization by inner coarse …

Experiments have shown that nanotwins play an important role in strengthening and
toughening high-entropy alloys (HEAs), which are closely associated with twin boundary …

Metallic composites with engineering 3D bioinspired architectures are difficult to construct by
traditional processing methods. Inspired by nacre structure, a novel titanium-based …

In the present study, a novel multicomponent accumulative roll bonding (MARB) approach
was proposed and successfully applied to prepare a nanostructured Ag/Cu multilayered …

Nanolayered metallic composites have exhibited ultrahigh strength but compromised
ductility due to their vulnerability to shear instability during deformation. Here we show that a …
