Unusual dynamic precipitation softening induced by dislocation glide in biomedical beta-titanium alloys

Abstract Softening of metallic materials containing precipitates during cyclic deformation occurs through dissolution of the precipitates, because the to-and-fro motion of the dislocation causes dissolution of the precipitate particles by cutting them. Here, however, we found the completely opposite...
