Due to lattice reorientation, grain segmentation, induced recrystallization, twins play a very
important role in regulating texture, refining grains, improving mechanical properties and …

Magnesium alloys have received considerable research interest due to their lightweight,
high specific strength and excellent castability. However, their plastic deformation is more …

A Hall-Petch slope (k) that is highly changeable with texture, as extensively reported in Mg
alloys, is ultimately related to the variation of deformation modes. In this paper, the influence …

Tensile twinning is a main deformation mode in hexagonal close packed structure metals, so
it is important to comprehensively understand twinning mechanisms which are not fully …

The high texture dependence of a Hall–Petch slope (k) for Mg alloys has been frequently
reported. Several important equations used to calculate k have been previously developed …

A large number of anomalous extension twins, with low or even negative twinning Schmid
factors, were found to nucleate and grow in a strongly textured Mg-1Al alloy during tensile …

Tension twinning nucleation and evolution in Mg WE43 alloy over a large sampling area
was investigated using a quasi-in-situ EBSD/SEM method during interrupted compression …

Twin nucleation in textured Mg alloys was studied by means of electron back-scattered
diffraction in samples deformed in tension along different orientations in more than 3000 …

Twinning is widely recognized as an effective and cost-efficient method for controlling the
microstructure and properties of wrought Magnesium (Mg) alloys. Specifically, twins play a …

This work investigates the role of slip & twinning on the strain hardening in Titanium (Ti) that
develops profound {10 1¯ 2}< 10 1¯ 1¯> extension twins (ET) during compression. The …
