The high cost of titanium alloys can be reduced using alternative manufacturing techniques and cheap alloying elements. In this study, the Ti-5Al-2.5Fe alloy, a cheaper α + β alloy than workhorse Ti-6Al-4V, was produced by powder metallurgy combined with hot thermomechanical deformation means forging. forged subsequently subjected to heat treatment at 750 °C for several annealing times in order...

Metallic glasses (MGs) typically have high yield strength while low ductility, and the latter is commonly considered as the Achilles' heel of MGs. Elucidate the mechanism for such low ductility becomes the research focus of this field. With molecular level simulations, we show the degree of short-range order (SRO) of atomic structure for brittle Fe-based glass decreases dramatically during the ...
