Enabling plastic co-deformation of disparate phases in a laser rapid solidified Sr-modified Al-Si eutectic through partial-dislocation-mediated-plasticity in Si

Nano-scale eutectics, such as rapid solidified Al-Si, exhibit enhanced yield strength and strain hardening but plasticity is limited by cracking of the hard phase (Si). Mechanisms…
