WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – An international team of researchers has invented a method to control the formation of defects called "shear bands" in metals manufacturing processes and discovered microscopic ...

Introducing heterogeneities into the structure is an effective way to enhance the plasticity of metallic glasses (MGs). The original randomly distributed free volume in MGs, a natural heterogeneity, ...

(Nanowerk News) An international team of researchers has invented a method to control the formation of defects called "shear bands" in metals manufacturing processes and discovered microscopic details ...

The lack of room-temperature plasticity of metallic glasses (MGs) severely restricts their structural applications; overcoming this is one of the hottest research topics in metallurgy. In Science ...
