High strength and plasticity in cobalt aluminum intermetallics

Caption

Micropillar compression tests on cobalt aluminum intermetallic nanocomposities fabricated by Purdue University researchers revealed that the team had enabled these nanocomposities to achieve a high yield strength exceeding 6 GPa, a sustained work hardening to approximately 8.5 GPa and a compressive plastic strain exceeding 15%.
