Refining a metal's grain size can result in dramatic increases in strength, and the magnitude
of this strengthening increment can be estimated using the Hall–Petch equation. Since the …

Nisingle bondCo alloy electrodeposits have been widely employed in industry due to their
good corrosion and wear resistance, high mechanical strength, moderate thermal …

Metals with nanocrystalline grains have ultrahigh strengths approaching two gigapascals.
However, such extreme grain-boundary strengthening results in the loss of almost all tensile …

Nanocrystalline metals and alloys, with average and range of grain sizes typically smaller
than 100 nm, have been the subject of considerable research in recent years. Such interest …

Ductility is one of the most important mechanical properties for metallic structural materials. It
is measured as the elongation to failure of a sample during standard uniaxial tensile tests …

Focusing on nanocrystalline (nc) pure face-centered cubic metals, where systematic
experimental data are available, this paper presents a brief overview of the recent progress …

Strength and ductility are two of the most important mechanical properties of structural
materials. However, they are often mutually exclusive, ie, a material may be strong or ductile …

This paper presents a brief overview of the field of structural nanocrystalline materials.
These are materials in either bulk, coating, or thin film form whose function is for structural …

Nanostructured metals and alloys are under intensive research worldwide and being
developed into bulk forms for application. While these new materials offer record-high …

A bulk nanocrystalline Al–5% Mg alloy was synthesized by an in situ consolidation
mechanical alloying technique. The mechanical behavior of this alloy was investigated by …
