Combinatorial experiments for discovering Al-C thin films with high strength and ductility

Fatigue behavior of freestanding nickel–molybdenum–tungsten thin films with high-density planar faults

“…As-deposited Ni-Mo-W thin film's reloading segment falls between the initial loading and unloading segments, demonstrating an anelastic behavior typically observed in dual-phase steels [51][52][53] and ufg/nc fcc metal thin films. 42,[54][55][56] Meanwhile, the annealed specimen shows a different mechanical response, where the unloading segment returns to the origin, and the reloading segment coincides with the initial loading path. The implications of anelasticity in the films are elaborated in the Discussion.…”

“…5(a) and (b)) reinforce GB sliding as a viable deformation mechanism. 42,55,56,76 Thus, strain accumulation developed in Ni-Mo-W during cyclic loading could have activated GB plasticity-mediated cracking rather than dislocation-mediated failure (Fig. 10(c)).…”
