Superior strength-ductility synergy by hetero-structuring high manganese steel [PDF]
Lacking of forest hardening makes low ductility in steels long challenge particularly at high yield strength. Here, we report to make good use of hetero-structuring for superior strength-ductility synergy in high manganese steel.

Heterostructure enables new deformation mechanisms to enhance strength and work hardening [PDF]
Reflection of geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) has been reported effective in increasing strength and ductility of dual-phase alloys. However, this mechanism is rarely observed in conventional single-phase alloys. Here we report the activation

Trimodal Grain Structured Aluminum Matrix Composites Regulated by Transitional Hetero-Domains [PDF]
Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) with hetero-grains exhibit high strength with good ductility. A trimodal grain structure composed of ultrafine grains (UFGs), fine grains (FGs) and coarse grains (CGs) prevents the pre-mature cracking of hetero-zone ...

Achieving synergistic strength-ductility enhancement in a hierarchical hetero-lamellar AlCoCrFeNi2.1 eutectic high-entropy alloy via facile hot-rolling strategy [PDF]
Eutectic high-entropy alloys (EHEAs) have attracted considerable interest due to their superior multifunctional performance. However, the inherent tendency of stress concentration at irregular phase boundaries frequently leads to premature fracture. This
