Evading the strength-ductility trade-off dilemma in steel through gradient hierarchical nanotwins
It is a long-standing goal in metallurgy to enhance the strength of materials without sacrificing ductility. In a recent article in Nature Communications, we reported an effective way to evade the strength-ductility trade-off dilemma in twin-induced plasticity steel.
