Abstract
The mechanical properties of super saturated solid solution Fe<sub>60</sub>Cu<sub>40</sub> alloy has been investigated using compression test. The results show that the grain precipitation and phase transformation occurs during compressive deformation resulting in large work-hardening ability, high strength and large ductility. Our results demonstrate that this novel architecture offers a design pathway towards a new generation of strong materials with large ductility.
