Giant hardening and formation of nanograined supersaturated solid solution in Al–Zn system

Grain refinement via severe plastic deformation (SPD) can induce the decomposition of Al–Zn supersaturated solid solution, resulting in strain softening rather than hardening. So far, it is very challenging to improve the strength of binary Al–Zn alloy by refining grains through SPD. Herein, a singl...
