Interface-governed strength-ductility synergy in nano-metallic-glass/aluminum composites

Materials Research Letters
Aluminum (Al) matrix composites typically suffer from a strength-ductility trade-off due to strain localization around hard-and-brittle reinforcements. Here, deformable FeZrB metallic glass nanoparticles were incorporated into pure Al matrix.
