Single system of nanotwins forming within primary twins were shown to govern the deformation despite the elevated temperatures attained during testing. The benefits of nanotwin formation for potential armor materials were demonstrated.Materials scienceEngineeringMetallurgy metallurgical engineeringJournal Article1543-1940426686200003Q21337
