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

Nanostructured metals are usually strong because the ultrahigh density of internal
boundaries restricts the mean free path of dislocations. Usually, they are also more brittle …

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 …

A Hall-Petch slope (k) that is highly changeable with texture, as extensively reported in Mg
alloys, is ultimately related to the variation of deformation modes. In this paper, the influence …

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

Although conventional Mg alloys develop strong crystallographic textures during
deformation that persist during annealing, the addition of rare earth (RE) elements can …

The high texture dependence of a Hall–Petch slope (k) for Mg alloys has been frequently
reported. Several important equations used to calculate k have been previously developed …

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 …

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 …

Abstract Binary Mg-1 wt.% Gd and Mg-1 wt.% Ce wrought alloys, with basal type starting
texture, are subjected to plane strain compression. Specially oriented specimens invoking c …
