Wu, G.; Sun, L.; Zhu, L.; Liu, C.; Wang, Q.; Bao, Y.; Lu, J.: Near-ideal strength and large compressive deformability of a nano-dual-phase glass-crystal alloy in sub-micron. Scripta Materialia 188, pp. 290 - 295 (2020)
Nickel-based alloys are a particularly interesting class of materials due to their specific properties such as high-temperature strength, low-temperature ductility and toughness, oxidation resistance, hot-corrosion resistance, and weldability, becoming potential candidates for high-performance components that require corrosion resistance and good…
Here the focus lies on investigating the temperature dependent deformation of material interfaces down to the individual microstructural length-scales, such as grain/phase boundaries or hetero-interfaces, to understand brittle-ductile transitions in deformation and the role of chemistry or crystallography on it.
