Transition from poor ductility to room-temperature superplasticity in a nanostructured aluminum alloy

Abstract Recent developments of nanostructured materials with grain sizes in the nanometer to submicrometer range have provided ground for numerous functional properties and new applications. However, in terms of mechanical properties, bulk nanostructured materials typically show poor ductility desp...
