Response to Comment on "Cryoforged nanotwinned titanium with ultrahigh strength and ductility"

Abstract

We address the three main points of Guo et al. They claim that we should have used the engineering stress versus engineering strain curves to infer the mechanical properties of our nanotwinned titanium, question our sample design on the basis of a finite-element analysis, and doubt the immobility of some preexisting grain/twin boundaries in our electron backscatter diffraction micrographs. We find their analysis to be groundless and to contain many inconsistencies.
