In the past two years, significant progresses have been achieved in high-performance cast
and wrought magnesium and magnesium alloys, magnesium-based composites, advanced …

In order to reduce oil consumption and avoid fossil fuel-related environmental problems,
scientists are always looking for lightweight structural materials that show high performance …

Based on their high specific strength and stiffness, magnesium alloys are attractive for
lightweight applications in aerospace and transportation, where weight saving is crucial for …

In this work, we develop a multi-level constitutive model for polycrystalline metals that
deform by a combination of elasticity, slip and deformation twinning. It involves a two-level …

Due to its light weight and natural availability, magnesium has been received a great
attention. On the other hand, the intrinsic brittleness of magnesium usually restricts its …

Deformation twinning is profusely activated in the Mg alloys due to lower critical resolved
shear stress (CRSS) compared to the non-basal slip systems (prismatic and pyramidal< c+ …

The effects of alloying additions and grain size on the deformation behavior of two extruded
Mg–4 wt.% Li and Mg–4 wt.% Li–1 wt.% Al alloys were studied. To determine the underlying …

The current work combines electron backscattered diffraction and Schmid's law numerical
analysis to study the micro-mechanisms responsible for transgranular fracture in magnesium …

Pervasive deformation twinning in magnesium greatly affects its strength and formability.
The local stress fields associated with twinning play a key role on deformation behavior and …

In present work, three dual-phase Mg–6Li–2Gd, Mg–7Li–2Gd and Mg–8Li–2Gd (wt.%)
alloys, with different morphology of β-Li and α-Mg phases, were fabricated by hot extrusion …
