Recent advances in the fundamental understanding of the deformation mechanisms in
metallic multilayers are reviewed. The strength of metallic multilayers increases with …

Heterostructured materials comprised of relatively soft/hard disparate phases typically
exhibit composite strengthening but lack plastic deformability at ambient temperatures …

This article reviews recent basic research on two categories of metal-based nanolaminates:
those composed of metal/metal constituents and those composed of metal/ceramic …

The mechanical behavior of nanoscale Al–TiN multilayered composites was studied using
micropillar compression experiments, which were compared with previously performed …

We performed in situ indentation in a transmission electron microscope on Al-TiN multilayers
with individual layer thicknesses of 50 nm, 5 nm and 2.7 nm to explore the effect of length …

Experimental results indicate that metal–ceramic multilayered thin films have unusual
properties such as high strength, measurable plasticity and high strain hardening rate when …

Experimental studies show that metal–ceramic multilayers can have high strength, high
strain hardening and measurable plasticity when the ceramic layer is a few nanometers …

Laser remelting was employed to refine the interlamellar spacing (λ) to approximately 30 nm
on an arc-cast Al-32.7 wt% Cu eutectic. λ scaled with A′(h)-° 0.25 where h is the distance …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to explore the effect of interface
structure on the inception of plastic deformation in Nb/NbC nanolayered composites. Using …

Laser surface re-melted Al–Al 2 Cu eutectic alloy with α-Al and θ-Al 2 Cu nanoscale
lamellae exhibits high strength and good plasticity at room temperature, implying that the …
