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 …

Ductile rupture in metals is a phenomenon that affects a wide range of applications from
forming of automotive body panels to failure of pressure vessels. The incipient stage …

One hopeful path to realize good comprehensive mechanical properties in metallic materials
is to accomplish homogeneous nanocrystalline (NC) or ultrafine grained (UFG) structure …

Owing to their unique mechanical and functional properties, both amorphous and
nanocrystalline alloys have attracted extensive research interest over the past decades …

Nanocrystalline materials with a grain size< 100 nm have attracted significant attention over
the past two decades. Various attempts have been made to prepare nanocrystalline …

Pushing the internal or external dimensions of metallic alloys down to the nanometer scale
gives rise to strong materials, though most often at the expense of a low ductility and a low …

Abstract In this study, Cu-0.535 Cr and Cu-0.535 Cr-0.1 Mg are used to research the effects
of Mg on the microstructure, physical properties, and softening resistance of Cu–Cr alloy …

This review addresses new developments in the emerging area of “atom probe
crystallography”, a materials characterization tool with the unique capacity to reveal both …

A gradient nanostructured (GNS) surface layer was induced on coarse-grained (CG) Cu and
CuAl alloys by means of surface mechanical grinding treatment. The GNS/CG Cu-4.5 Al …

Magnesium was added into Cu-Cr alloy to overcome the traditional limitations of high-cost
and large-scale manufacturing of Cu-Cr alloys and to unveil the acting mechanism of Mg on …
