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

Although several strategies (including grain refinement, texture adjustment, precipitation
hardening, etc.) have been verified to effectively improve the mechanical properties of …

Twin, dislocation, and grain boundary interaction in hexagonal materials, such as Mg, Ti,
and Zr, has critical influence on the materials' mechanical properties. The development of a …

Twinning and shear bands are two main deformation structures in magnesium alloys at low
temperatures, however, the relationship between these two deformation structures is still …

This work investigated the cyclic torsional behaviors of extruded AZ61A Mg alloy tubes
through experiments and simulations. To capture the Bauschinger effect, the elastic …

During cold rolling in magnesium (Mg) alloys, there will always be serious ductility
deterioration, which greatly restricts the application of this processing method. In this work …

This paper describes a study of deformation anisotropy of rolled grade 1 commercially pure
titanium (CP-Ti) in the temperature range-115–20° C. The tensile experiments combined …

Shock loading causes complicated twinning processes in Ti and Ti alloys. In this work, two
types of {10 1¯ 2} sequential twinning processes are for the first time reported according to …

In this work, a commercial cast magnesium alloy AZ31 was compressed at room and
cryogenic temperatures (RT and CT) to study how the twins and dislocations affect the flow …

Twinning-mediated plasticity has great potential for enhancing the strength and plasticity of
Mg alloys, which is limited due to the lack of twin types. Here, we report a novel multistage …
