Abstract

                Metals and alloys can be processed to reach ultra-high strength, but usually at a drastic loss of ductility. In this talk, I will review recent advances in the mechanics study in order to overcome this strength-ductility tradeoff. Several case studies will be presented, including the gradient nano-grained metals, gradient nano-twinned metals, nanocluster-enhanced high-entropy alloys, and 3D-printed steel. By integrating experiments with atomistic/crystal plasticity simulations, we show that these systems share a unifying design principle in that the structural heterogeneities induce non-homogeneous plastic deformation, and the nanometer-scale features dictate steep strain gradients, thereby enhancing strain hardening and consequently uniform tensile ductility at high flow stresses. Our studies provide new insight into the design of the strong and ductile materials with heterogeneous nanostructures.
