Improving the strength and retaining the ductility of microstructural graded coarse-grained materials with low stacking fault energy

Gradient structures were introduced via torsional treatment to Cu and CuAl alloys with different starting grain sizes and stacking fault energies (SFEs). Systematic investigations showed that the original grain sizes and SFEs of these materials play vital roles in affecting the formation of gradien...
