Stimulating strain hardening ability to achieve excellent ductility for aluminum matrix composites by activating hetero-deformation induced hardening through designing grain partition

Key Points

• Ductility in composites is enhanced by activating strain hardening mechanisms.
• The study reports a significant increase in ductility levels by 30% following grain partitioning techniques.
• Observational analysis of aluminum matrix composites and their mechanical properties after activating hetero-deformation methods.
• This approach may enable better performance of aluminum composites in structural applications.
