Episode 110 of the Professor Alex Volinsky podcast. Alternating amorphous NiP with crystalline Ni raised uniform elongation from 24% to 43% and yield strength from 108 to 172 MPa. Piled-up dislocations build back stress and strain hardening, while multilayer interfaces arrest cracks. Based on the paper: Deformation Mechanisms of NiP/Ni Composite Coatings on Ductile Substrates; Z. Zhang, H. Xu, X.Y. Zhou, T. Guo, X. Pang, A.A. Volinsky; Coatings, 2021, Vol. 11, pp. 1-12.
