Trifunctional nanoprecipitates ductilize and toughen a strong laminated metastable titanium alloy

Engineering metastability can enhance the ductility of alloys, but it often comes at an expense of relatively low yield strength. Here, the authors fabricate a Ti-based alloy with heterogeneous laminated structures and α-nanoprecipitates that enhance yield strength without sacrificing ductility.
