The influence of changes in crystallographic texture on the Hall–Petch (H–P) relationship for
an Mg alloy was investigated. First, the texture variations were facilitated by changing the …

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 …

Friction stir processing was applied to a magnesium alloy to generate various grain sizes
with the same intense basal texture. Subsequent tensile deformation along two orthogonal …

The temperature evolution during friction stir welding (FSW) and the resulting residual
stresses of AZ31 Mg alloy were studied to get a better understanding of the mechanisms …

Magnesium (Mg) alloys have been extensively used in various fields, such as aerospace,
