Most multicomponent high-entropy alloys (HEAs) lose ductility with increasing strength, similar to conventional materials. We controllably introduced novel gradient nano-scaled dislocation-cell str...

The influence of nanostructured features on bacterial adhesion and bone cell functions on severely shot peened 316L stainless steel

Nanoscale surface modification of AISI 316L stainless steel by severe shot peening

Fatigue behavior of a low-alloy steel with nanostructured surface obtained by severe shot peening

The importance of application of shot peening process to obtain nanocrystal surface is presented with an inclusive clarification of actual state of the art. Description of different shot peening methods which have proved to be able to create nanocrystallised layers is presented. Then the available microstructural characteristics of nanocrystal thin layers obtained with different processes are depicted. In addition, the influence of the process is reviewed on material behaviour under different loading conditions. On this basis, some possible addresses for future research in this field are drawn and underlined.
