Hierarchical nanostructured aluminum alloy with ultrahigh strength and large plasticity

Strengthening a metallic alloy without sacrificing ductility remains challenging. Here, the authors develop a hierarchical nanostructured aluminium alloy composed of nanograins surrounding by metallic glass shells that has both ultrahigh strength and good ductility.
