Metallurgists have long been accustomed to a trade-off between yield strength and tensile
ductility. Extending previously known strain-hardening mechanisms, the emerging multi …

Coarse-grained materials are widely accepted to display the highest strain hardening and
the best tensile ductility. We experimentally report an attractive strain hardening rate …

Under high strain-rate loading, prominent increases in pressure usually triggers phase
transition (PT), but the concomitant temperature rise may also cause melting. Quasi …

The superior strength and toughness balance prevails in the face-centered-cubic-structured
high/medium-entropy alloys (H/MEAs) of low strength, while a gain in yield strength is …

The strategy of heterogeneous-structured (HGS) high manganese steels was designed by
asymmetrical-rolling (AR) with annealing to obtain superior mechanical performance for …

Dynamic mechanical properties of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) or medium-entropy alloys
(MEAs) under high strain rate loading are of increasing interest for their promising …

The impact toughness of titanium alloys is one of the key factors determining their safe
service in cryogenic temperature environments. In this work, the temperature-related impact …

The strength–ductility trade-off has long been a Gordian knot in conventional metallic
structural materials and it is no exception in multi-principal element alloys. In particular, at …

Remarkable mechanical properties have been reported for CoCrFeMnNi-based high
entropy alloys (HEAs) in recent literature, making these HEAs potentially attractive …

The dynamic tension behavior of an equiatomic CrCoNi medium entropy alloy (MEA) has
been studied at both room temperature (RT, 298 K) and liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT, 77 …
