Ultra-strong and strain-hardenable ultrafine-grained medium-entropy alloy via enhanced grain-boundary strengthening
An equiatomic VCoNi medium-entropy alloy possesses high sensitivity to grain-boundary strengthening, achieved by severe lattice distortions. Its ultrafine-grain structure enables 1.5 Gigapascal yield strength even for the fully recrystallized alloy with a single face-centered cubic structure. The hi...
