Herein, we investigated all possible slip modes in pure Ti and the effects of Al and V solutes as typical additive elements on the dislocation motion in -Ti alloys using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The stacking fault (SF) energies in possible slip planes indicated that both Al and V solutes reduce the SF energy in the basal plane and, in contrast, the Al solute increases the SF energy particularly in the prismatic plane. DFT calculations were subsequently performed to simulate dislocation core structures. The energy landscape of the transition between all possible dislocation core structures and the barriers for dislocation glide in various slip planes clarified the nature of dislocation motion in pure Ti. (i) the energy of prismatic core is higher than most stable pyramidal core, and thereby dislocations need to overcome the energy barrier of the cross-slip (22.8 meV/b) when they move in the prismatic plane, (ii) the energy difference between the prismatic and basal cores is larger (127 meV/b), that indicates the basal slip does not activate, (iii) however, the Peierls barrier for motion in the basal plane is not as high (16 meV/b). Direct calculations for the dislocation core around solutes revealed that both Al and V solutes facilitate dislocation motion in the basal plane by reducing the energy difference between the prismatic and basal cores. The effect of solutes characterizes the difference in the deformation mode of pure Ti and -Ti alloys.

Heavy cold rolling can develop unique mixed structures with nano-lamellar, shear bands and mechanical nano-twins in various kinds of stainless steels. In particular, "eye-shaped" twin domains developed in phase are a main feature of the mixed structures. The heavily cold rolled stainless steels possessed a high tensile strength over 1.5 GPa as well as a ductility of 10%. The strength increased to 2.0 GPa by ageing. This indicates that the heavily cold rolling can produce excellent structural materials having high strength and ductility.

Heavy cold rolling can develop lamellar structure of ferrite and austenitic hetero-nanostructure in duplex stainless steels. The austenitic hetero-nanostructure is composed of nanl-lamellar, shear bands, and "eye-shaped" nano-twin domains. The nano-twin domains have {111} texture which suppresses the evolution of {101} texture in the austenite. This provides excellent tensile strength as well as improvement of ductility.
