Grain refinement could effectively enhance yield strength of Mg alloys according to the well-
known Hall-Petch theory. For decades, many studies have been devoted to the factors …

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

The effect of slip transfer on heterogeneous deformation of polycrystals has been a topic of
recurring interest, as this process can either lead to the nucleation of damage, or prevent …

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 …

Materials with a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) crystal structure such as Mg, Ti and Zr are
being used in the transportation, aerospace and nuclear industry, respectively. Material …

The individual effect of DRXed grains, subgrains and deformed grains on the basal texture
of Mg–Zn–Zr alloy during hot tensile deformation was systematically studied by extracting …

Typical hexagonal engineering materials, such as magnesium and titanium, deform
extensively through shear strains and crystallographic re-orientations associated with the …

Abstract Two alloys with (T4-4h) and without (T4-8h) long-period stacking ordered (LPSO)
phase were obtained by solution treatment of as-cast Mg-1Al-12Y alloy at 540° C for 4 h and …

Texture control of wrought Mg alloys, particularly in rolled Mg alloy sheets, has been an
important research topic for the past several decades because it has significant influence on …

Abstract Introducing {10 1¯ 2}< 10 1¯ 1> extension twin and their variants in magnesium
alloys is one of the cost-effective practical approaches for re-assigning the crystallographic …
