Complexion‐Mediated Dislocation Transfer Enables Exceptional Strength‐Toughness Synergy in Multicomponent‐Alloy Bonded Hardmetal

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The inherent brittleness of hardmetals stems from the rigid covalent bond in the ceramic matrix and the sharp ceramic/metal interface, which restricts the nucleation and motion of dislocations. In this study, a novel strategy is proposed to activate significant dislocation behaviors in the WC matrix by employing a non‐equiatomic CoNiFeCr ...

Highly Stable Aqueous Zinc Anodes Enabled by Synergistic Modulation of Interface and Solvation Structures

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The stability of aqueous Zn2+ batteries is severely hindered by parasitic reactions at the Zn anode/electrolyte interface. Herein, itaconic acid (IA) is introduced as an effective electrolyte additive to achieve a highly stable zinc anode. Remarkably, IA concurrently modulates both the zinc anode/electrolyte interfacial structure and the Zn2 ...

Velocity‐Iterative Directional Annealing Enables Ultra‐Elongated Columnar Grains and Exceptional Ductility in TiAl Alloys

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study introduces a novel velocity‐iterative directional annealing (IDA) strategy to overcome stagnation challenges in columnar grain growth of Ti‐48Al‐2Cr‐2Nb alloys. By dynamically adjusting hot zone migration rates across iterative cycles, the IDA protocol achieved 92.2% synchronization between anisotropic α‐grain boundary (GB ...

Synergistic Regulation of Na+ Solvation Structure and Interfacial Chemistry Enabled by a Bifunctional Sultone Additive for High‐Voltage Sodium Metal Batteries

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sodium metal batteries (SMBs) are regarded as promising candidates for next‐generation energy storage systems owing to their high theoretical energy density and low cost. However, their practical development is hindered by the instability of the electrode–electrolyte interphase (EEI), particularly under high‐voltage operation.

Dual‐Function In Situ Ti3(Cu,Al)3O Reinforcement for Simultaneous Strengthening and CTE Reduction in Sapphire/TC4 Active‐Brazed Joints

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The thermal expansion mismatch between sapphire and Ti‐6Al‐4V (TC4) alloy has traditionally limited the shear strength of ceramic‐metal joints to ≤ 170 MPa. In this study, active brazing with Ag‐35.25Cu‐1.75Ti (wt%) leads to the formation of a dual‐function microstructure, wherein uniformly dispersed submicron Ti3(Cu,Al)3O particles embedded ...

Accelerated Ordering of Cu Atoms and Synergistic Dual Anisotropy for Enhanced High‐Frequency Soft Magnetic Properties in Fe‐Based Alloys

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The inherent trade‐off between high saturation induction (Bs) and low core loss in soft magnetic materials presents a challenge in the development of high‐frequency power electronics. Here, a processing approach that combines accelerated Cu ordering with dual magnetic anisotropy control in high‐Bs Fe‐based nanostructured cores is examined ...
