BSTRACTResidual stress exists extensively in biological and engineering structures. Here we report that residual stress can be engineered to significantly enhance the strength and ductility of gradient materials.
In-situ
synchrotron experiments revealed that the strongest strain hardening occurred in the layer with the highest compressive residual stress in a gradient structure. This layer remained elastic longer than adjacent layers during tension
producing high hetero-deformation induced stress to increase strength and enhancing work hardening even after the disappearance of the compressive stress to increase ductility. This finding provides a new paradigm for designing gradient structures for superior mechanical properties.
