To Be or Not to Be Eutectic: Anomalous Glass Forming Ability Governed by Melt Structural Complexity

ABSTRACT For decades, the search for metallic glass formers has followed a simple rule: go for the eutectics. However, this conventional wisdom has been challenged by a lingering mystery—certain congruent melting alloys exhibit higher glass‐forming ability (GFA) than their eutect...

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...
