[HTML][HTML] An overview of tailoring strain delocalization for strength-ductility synergy

H Wu, G Fan - Progress in Materials Science, 2020 - Elsevier
In this paper, we systematically proposed the strategy of tailoring strain delocalization to
evade long-standing strength-ductility trade-off dilemma. The scientific contribution is to …

Growth twins and deformation twins in metals

IJ Beyerlein, X Zhang, A Misra - Annual Review of Materials …, 2014 - annualreviews.org
This article reviews recent basic research on two classes of twins: growth twins and
deformation twins. We focus primarily on studies that aim to understand, via experiments …

Transition of dominant deformation mode in bulk polycrystalline pure Mg by ultra-grain refinement down to sub-micrometer

R Zheng, JP Du, S Gao, H Somekawa, S Ogata, N Tsuji - Acta Materialia, 2020 - Elsevier
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys usually show relatively low strength and poor ductility at
room temperature due to their anisotropic hexagonal close-packed (HCP) crystal structure …

The origins of high hardening and low ductility in magnesium

Z Wu, WA Curtin - Nature, 2015 - nature.com
Magnesium is a lightweight structural metal but it exhibits low ductility—connected with
unusual, mechanistically unexplained, dislocation and plasticity phenomena—which makes …

Deformation behavior of brittle/ductile multilayered composites under interface constraint effect

H Wu, G Fan, M Huang, L Geng, X Cui, H ** magnesium alloys with both high corrosion resistance and superior mechanical
properties is a long-standing challenge for the lightweight metal community. Herein …

Visualization and validation of twin nucleation and early-stage growth in magnesium

L Jiang, M Gong, J Wang, Z Pan, X Wang… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
The abrupt occurrence of twinning when Mg is deformed leads to a highly anisotropic
response, making it too unreliable for structural use and too unpredictable for observation …

[HTML][HTML] In-situ TEM observation of {101 2} twin-dominated deformation of Mg pillars: Twinning mechanism, size effects and rate dependency

J Jeong, M Alfreider, R Konetschnik, D Kiener, SH Oh - Acta Materialia, 2018 - Elsevier
To investigate the mechanism of {10 1¯ 2} twinning in magnesium (Mg) single crystal and its
influence on mechanical size effects and strain rate dependent deformation behavior, in-situ …
