The origins of high hardening and low ductility in magnesium

Practical applications of magnesium as a lightweight structural metal are limited by its high work hardening, low ductility and fracture at very low strains; now molecular dynamics simulations reveal the origins of these problems and offer a route to design magnesium alloys with improved mechanical properties.

Negative mixing enthalpy solid solutions deliver high strength and ductility

A HfNbTiVAl₁₀ alloy shows tensile ductility and ultrahigh yield strength from the addition of aluminium to a HfNbTiV alloy, resulting in a negative mixing enthalpy solid solution, which promotes strength and favours formation of hierarchical chemical fluctuations.

Simultaneously enhancing the ultimate strength and ductility of high-entropy alloys via short-range ordering

The strength-ductility trade-off has been a long-standing problem for alloy development. Here the authors present a route for designing high-entropy alloys to overcome this trade-off via short-range ordering shown by combined Monte Carlo, molecular dynamic, and density-functional theory simulations.

Reversible loss of core–shell structure for Ni–Au bimetallic nanoparticles during CO₂ hydrogenation

The structure of core–shell catalysts is often assumed to be conserved over a reaction. Now, an in situ study reveals that the shell of Ni@Au nanoparticles is reversibly converted into a Ni–Au alloy during CO₂ hydrogenation, with important mechanistic implications.
