The investigation of strain hardening in metals is complex, with the outcome depending on experimental conditions, that may involve microstructural history, temperature and loading rate. Hardening is commonly ...
Precipitation hardening, a cornerstone of alloy strengthening, finds widespread application in engineering materials. Comprehending the underlying mechanisms and formulating models bear crucial significance fo...

During plastic flow in metals, dislocations from slip systems with different glide planes collide to form junctions. After being in-residence within the dislocation network for some period of time, these junct...
The increase in the yield stress due to the presence of obstacles to dislocation motion such as precipitates is a multiscale phenomenon. The details on the nanoscale when an individual dislocation runs into a ...
