Magnesium, the lightest structural metal, is approximately four times lighter than steel—the
most widely used metal in industrial applications. Currently available Mg alloys, however …

Basal slip and dynamic recovery of dislocations have been long assumed as the main
mechanisms accounting for the sharp texturing of magnesium alloys upon dynamic …

Fatigue analysis has always been a concern in the design and assessment of Mg alloy
structure components subjected to cyclic loading, and research on the cyclic plasticity is …

Together with slip, deformation twinning and de-twinning are the plastic deformation
mechanisms in hexagonal close packed (HCP) crystals, which strongly affect texture …

Electron backscattered diffraction serial image analyses on AM30 magnesium alloy
compressed under profuse {101¯ 2} twinning conditions at different strain levels suggest that …

The interaction between dislocations and {10 1¯ 2}< 1¯ 011> twins appears to play an
important role in the strain hardening behavior of Mg. Detailed transmission electron …

Abstract We show that {10 1¯ 2} twinning in magnesium acts as an effective sink of basal
dislocations without loss of mobility. The lattice dislocation decomposes into the b 0/0 BP …

Mechanical responses and texture evolution of extruded AZ31 Mg are measured under
uniaxial (tension–compression) and multiaxial (free-end torsion) loadings. Compression …

The Schmid factors for four slip systems (basal〈 a〉, prismatic〈 a〉, pyramidal〈 a〉 and〈 c+
a〉 slips) and two twinning patterns ({101¯ 2} and {101¯ 1} twins) were systematically …

Magnesium alloys exhibit complex deformation related mechanical behavior, viz. plastic
anisotropy, tension–compression asymmetry and premature failure. Their origins are in the …
