Electropulse-produced bio-inspired steel with soft-hard phases to solve conflicting demands of hardness and impact toughness

To solve two conflicting demands of hardness and impact toughness, we learn from nature and provide a novel strategy to fabricate bio-inspired steel based on electropulsing, which produces self-generated hard blocks on the soft matrix without composition change. The results show that current paramet...
