Discontinuously reinforced titanium matrix composites (DRTMCs), as one of the most
important metal matrix composites (MMCs), are expected to exhibit high strength, elastic …

Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is an additive manufacturing technology that is gaining
increasing interest in aerospace, automotive and biomedical applications due to the …

Abstract Metastability-engineering, eg, transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP), can
enhance the ductility of alloys, however it often comes at the expense of relatively low yield …

Some high-entropy alloys, which contain two or more component phases with highly
different properties, can achieve an outstanding combination of high strength and high …

As one of the representative characteristics of plastic deformation, microstructural plastic
strain inhomogeneity has triggered a broad interest in uncovering the corresponding …

The microstructure of dual-phase Ti alloys crucially influences the nucleation of dwell fatigue
cracks, which is of significance in determining the dwell fatigue life of Ti alloys. However, the …

In metastable β-Ti alloys, the primary deformation mechanisms, including ordinary
dislocation plasticity (ODP), deformation twinning (DT), and phase transformation, are …

A strategy to quantify the second phase strengthening of α precipitates in titanium alloys is
proposed to predict the mechanical performance through crystal plasticity finite element …

This study aims to establish a strategy for bridging the microstructure and mechanical
properties of fine-grain-structured dual-phase steel. A complete workflow is built up …

Microstructural plastic strain distribution evolution is highly heterogeneous even in single-
phase alloys. One of the important factors that govern this heterogeneity is slip/twinning …
