Doubled strength and ductility via maraging effect and dynamic precipitate transformation in ultrastrong medium-entropy alloy

Commercial maraging alloys provide high strength and toughness by traditional precipitation strengthening mechanism. Here, the authors demonstrate a new strategy involving deformable precipitates and their dynamic phase transformation resulting in a twofold enhancement of strength and ductility.
