In this review, we separate the different governing factors on austenite stability into intrinsic
and extrinsic factors, depending on the domain defined by austenite grain boundaries. The …

To comprehend the mechanical behavior of a polycrystalline material, an in-depth analysis
of individual grain boundary (GB) and dislocation interactions is of prime importance. In the …

In order to probe the superior nano/micron scale mechanical behaviors of ultra-fine grain
(UFG) austenitic stainless steel as compared with coarse grain (CG) counterpart, systematic …

This work investigates systematically the phase transformation and superelasticity in
TiNbTaZr alloy prepared by friction stir processing (FSP). Multiple-pass FSP with a 100 …

The additional deep cryogenic treatment process prior to intercritical annealing was
employed to tailor the mechanical stability of austenite grains in a new medium Mn steel. As …

Conventional macromechanical tests provide limited insights into complex hierarchical
deformation behavior of a transformative high entropy alloy (HEA). In this work, a high …

Magnesium (Mg) alloys are difficult to cold/warm-process due to their hexagonal close-
packed (HCP) lattice, which has restricted slip systems and makes plastic deformation at low …

NiTi-Nb porous shape memory scaffold was in-situ sintered by eutectic reaction using NiTi
powder, Nb powder and Ti wire at 1180° C. Ti 2 Ni and Ni 4 Ti 3 phases are precipitated …

In general, the medium Mn steel with a dual phase microstructure of austenite and ferrite has
a yield point phenomenon. It is still not clear which phase firstly initiates the plasticity and …

The influence of Si addition on the microstructure and mechanical behavior of cast silicon
stainless steel alloys was investigated. It was recognized that after incorporation of Si in the …
