Shear bands with alternating lamellar and serrated structures were observed on the fracture surface of an Ti–Fe ultrafine eutectic. The shear bands are composed of coalesced subgrains. Hence, a subgrain rotational mechanism is proposed to explain their formation. The work is a direct experimental evidence of the hypot…
