"Effect of compositional heterogeneity on the mechanical properties of " by H. Wang, B. S. Dong et al.
Recent investigations have indicated that compositional heterogeneity, which is compositional undulation of alloying elements in single-phase solid solutions, can enhance the strength without sacrificing ductility, similar to cluster strengthening, of single-crystal nano-pillars and bulk nanocrystalline metallic materials. However, the impact of compositional heterogeneity on the mechanical properties of coarse-grained metallic materials is not yet fully understood. In this study, we examine the influence of compositional heterogeneity on the tensile mechanical properties of a Cu-9Al (at.%) al...
