Near-theoretical strength and deformation stabilization achieved via grain boundary segregation and nano-clustering of solutes

Grain boundary hardening and precipitation hardening are important mechanisms for enhancing the strength of metals. Here, we show that these two effects can be amplified simultaneously in nanocrystalline compositionally complex alloys (CCAs), leading to near-theoretical strength and large deformabil...
