The crystallographic orientations are generally non-random in wrought Mg alloy, which will
lead to their macroscopic physical properties to be anisotropic. Understanding the texture …

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 …

The asymmetric mechanical response and corresponding statistical grain-scale slip/twinning
activity for extruded Mg-(0~ 5 wt%) Y sheets during room-temperature uniaxial tension and …

High strength–ductility synergy is difficult to achieve in Mg alloys. Although high strength has
been achieved through considerable alloying addition and low-temperature extrusion, these …

Addition of a small amount of Ca improves the ductility of Mg alloys. However, the
mechanism underlying this effect is not well understood. In this work, tensile testing of an …

Heterostructures can effectively break the traditional strength-ductility trade-off dilemma.
However, how the texture of materials with heterostructure under hetero-deformation …

The deformation mechanisms of an extruded Mg-5Y-0.08 Ca (wt.%) alloy were analyzed by
means of micropillar compression tests on single crystals along different orientations …

Magnesium (Mg) is the lightest structural metal. However, the poor formability of Mg alloys to
great extent limits their applications in making structural parts. Formability is strongly …

Constructing bimodal grain structure is a promising approach to achieve the high strength-
ductility synergy in Mg alloy. Formation of bimodal grain is closely related to the dynamic …

It is well-established that Mg-3Al-1Zn (AZ31) alloy exhibits much better tensile ductility than
pure Mg. However, the underlying mechanisms for such difference still remain relatively …
