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

Twinning is widely recognized as an effective and cost-efficient method for controlling the
microstructure and properties of wrought Magnesium (Mg) alloys. Specifically, twins play a …

Abstract An extruded Mg-17Gd (wt%) alloy with< 0001> fiber texture was compressed along
different directions at room temperature. Electron backscatter diffraction characterization was …

The twinning behavior, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) mechanism and the resultant texture
evolution of the extruded Mg-xBi (x= 0.5 wt.%, 2.0 wt.%) alloys were systematically …

Enhancing the strength and ductility of widely used Mg–Al–Zn alloys is an urgent
requirement for Mg alloy load-bearing components. Ultra-fine grains and a large amount of β …

Unlike dislocation slips with lattice translation vectors, the shear vector of twinning
dislocation or disconnection (TD) is a non-lattice translation vector. Corresponding to the …

Abstract In this study, Mg-Gd-Y-(Sm)-Zr (GW-(Sm)) alloys were subjected to compression
tests at both 293 and 77 K. The effect of Sm addition on the plastic deformation mechanism …

Deformation twinning is generally operated via successive gliding of twinning dislocations/
disconnections on coherent twin interface. Kinking is associated with the pileup of an array …

Twin boundaries (TBs) are effective sinks for solutes to segregate, as they may drive the
structural transformation and therefore tailor the properties of magnesium alloys. In this …

Secondary phases are key factors affecting cracking behavior during casting, but it is still
unclear how exactly cracks form. The cracking susceptibility of die-cast Mg–Ce–Al series …
