Deformable precipitates locally modify fault-mediated plasticity for strength-ductility synergy

Precipitates in structural alloys are conventionally understood as passive obstacles to dislocation motion. Here we show that semi-coherent hexagonal close-packed precipitates in a low-stacking-fault-energy Ni50Co30Ru20 multi-principal element alloy cooperate with planar-fault pl...
