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

The grain size, and therefore the grain boundary density, is known to play a major role in the
flow stress of metallic materials. A linear relationship to the inverse of the square root of the …

Most mechanisms used for strengthening crystalline materials, eg introducing crystalline
interfaces, lead to the reduction of ductility. An additive manufacturing process–selective …

Forming alloys with impurity elements is a routine method for modifying the properties of
metals. An alternative approach involves the incorporation of interfaces into the crystalline …

The role of volumetric energy density on the microstructural evolution, texture and
mechanical properties of 304L stainless steel parts additively manufactured via selective …

Both hardness and strength are the important properties of materials, and they often obey
the three times empirical relationship in work-hardened metals and some bulk metallic …

Nanocrystalline (nc) materials can be defined as solids with grain sizes in the range of 1–
100 nm. Contrary to coarse-grained metals, which become more difficult to twin with …

Strengthening materials traditionally involves the controlled creation of internal defects and
boundaries so as to obstruct dislocation motion. Such strategies invariably compromise …

Recent experiments on nanostructured materials, such as nanoparticles, nanowires,
nanotubes, nanopillars, thin films, and nanocrystals have revealed a host of “ultra-strength” …

Abstract A new Mg-5.5 Gd-3Y-1Sm-0.5 Zr (1Sm) alloy was developed. The deformation
behavior and microstructure evolution of the Mg-Gd-Y-(Sm)-Zr alloys during hot …
