Partially recrystallized microstructures expand the strength-toughness envelope of CrCoNi medium-entropy alloy

Abstract Engineering materials exhibit an undesirable tradeoff between strength and resistance to crack propagation (fracture toughness). Here we demonstrate how this tradeoff can be circumvented by thermo-mechanical processing that produces a partially recrystallized, heterogeneous microstructure....
