Heterostructured (HS) materials are a new class of materials that are composed of
heterogeneous zones with dramatically different (> 100%) mechanical or physical …

There are several facets of aluminum when it comes to sustainability. While it helps to save
fuel due to its low density, producing it from ores is very energy-intensive. Recycling it shifts …

There is an increasingly urgent need of lightweight components in aerospace industry,
among which aluminum (Al) alloys have been the optimal materials of choice for aircraft …

Nano-lamellar materials with ultrahigh strengths and unusual physical properties are of
technological importance for structural applications. However, these materials generally …

Multicomponent high‐entropy alloys (HEAs) can be tuned to a simple phase with some
unique alloy characteristics. HEAs with body‐centered‐cubic (BCC) or hexagonal‐close …

Achieving high mechanical strength and ductility in age-hardenable Al7000 series (Al–Zn–
Mg) alloys fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) remains challenging. Here, we show …

Suppressing the early strain localization at the nanostructured topmost layer is crucial for
achieving better tensile ductility in the gradient structure. Thus, structures with combined …

Conventional alloys are usually based on a single host metal. Recent high-entropy alloys
(HEAs), in contrast, employ multiple principal elements. The strength of HEAs is …

Many traditional approaches for strengthening steels typically come at the expense of useful
ductility, a dilemma known as strength–ductility trade-off. New metallurgical processing …

Nanostructured metallic materials having nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained structures
show exceptional mechanical properties, eg superior strength, that are very attractive for …
