International researcher team presents a novel microstructure design strategy for lean medium-manganese steels with optimized properties in the journal Science
The key to the design and construction of advanced materials with tailored mechanical properties is nano- and micro-scale plasticity. Significant influence also exists in shaping the mechanical behavior of materials on small length scales.
