With a knowledge of how deformation translates from grain to grain, we could look at the processing of TWIP and multiphase steels to produce optimal textures for high strength or high ductility ...

By using the strategy of grain boundary engineering (GBE), the strength ... By using advanced microscopy, deformation mechanism has been explored and a cracking model has been developed.

In nanomaterials, grain boundaries play a crucial role in determining various physical, chemical, and mechanical properties due to the high volume fraction of interfacial regions compared to bulk ...

Lateral misalignment of crystal planes would also be expected to produce ‘lack of fit’ at the grain boundaries, but this effect is most probably smoothed out by the imperfections in the ...

In hyper-eutectoid alloys the additional, brittle cementite on the pearlite grain boundaries further decreases the ductility of the alloy. The proeutectoid cementite restricts plastic deformation to ...

Hall-Petch strengthening is a phenomenon where decreasing the average grain size of a material leads to increased yield strength and ... techniques for the synthesis and consolidation of ...

In recent years, steel and nonferrous metals with nano-sized crystal grains have been produced by deformation processing to apply extreme levels of plastic deformation 5 and recrystallize their ...
