Heterogeneous lamella structure unites ultrafine-grain strength with coarse-grain ductility

Significance For centuries it has been a challenge to avoid strength–ductility trade-off, which is especially problematic for ultrastrong ultrafine-grained metals. Here we evade this trade-off dilemma by architecting a heterogeneous lamella structure, i.e., soft micrograined lamellae embedded in har... View More
