Strength–ductility combination of nanostructured Cu–Zn alloy with nanotwin bundles
Highlights
► A mixed structure of micro-sized recrystallized grains and nanotwins was obtained. ► A better strength–ductility combination was found in recrystallized samples. ► Finer recrystallized grains and thinner nanotwins play a key role in strengthening.

2022, Materials LettersCitation Excerpt :A number of approaches to produce materials with a good combination of strength and plasticity were proposed [3,10–13]. Nanotwinned metallic alloys are expected to have superior properties combining enhanced yield/ultimate strength and sufficient ductility (formability) [10–16]. This is a result of the following processes which simultaneously happen (i) dislocation motion is impedded by twin boundaries (TBs) as effectively as high-angle grain boundaries (GBs) and (ii) sliding of dislocations along the TBs is promoted owing to TBs’ coherent character [10].
