Both high tensile ductility and high strength are achieved in bulk multimodal (Multi‐Ni) and bimodal (Bi‐Ni) nanostructured nickel, synthesized by cryomilling and subsequent quasi‐isostatic forging processes. The relatively low tensile ductility of bulk nanostructured materials has been a major obst...
