Metastability-engineering, e.g., transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP), can enhance the ductility of alloys, however it often comes at the expense of relatively low yield strength, which limits the further engineering application of such alloys. As a matter of fact, there are two classic strategies to strengthen metastable alloys. The first is to tailor the deformation mechanisms transfo...
