In a recent experimental work, as a result of severe plastic deformation, a non-equilibrium solid solution was obtained despite the very limited solubility of zirconium (Zr) in aluminum (Al). This opens up a new path in the development of heat-treatable alloys with improved electrical and mechanical...
