Magnesium, the lightest structural metal, is approximately four times lighter than steel—the
most widely used metal in industrial applications. Currently available Mg alloys, however …

Deformation twinning is profusely activated in the Mg alloys due to lower critical resolved
shear stress (CRSS) compared to the non-basal slip systems (prismatic and pyramidal< c+ …

The influence of changes in crystallographic texture on the Hall–Petch (H–P) relationship for
an Mg alloy was investigated. First, the texture variations were facilitated by changing the …

The formability and mechanical properties of Mg alloys are strongly related to the
crystallographic basal texture. Deformation twins form extensively after mechanical …

Based on their high specific strength and stiffness, magnesium alloys are attractive for
lightweight applications in aerospace and transportation, where weight saving is crucial for …

Twin nucleation in textured Mg alloys was studied by means of electron back-scattered
diffraction in samples deformed in tension along different orientations in more than 3000 …

The high strength of most Mg-RE alloys is frequently accomplished by high RE addition, but
their high density and poor plasticity restrict their applications in the field of aerospace …

The aim of this paper is to elucidate the origin of the transition from twinning to slip
dominated flow in pure Mg. With that purpose, two polycrystals with average grain sizes of …

This article systematically overviews the grain size effect on deformation twinning and
detwinning in face-centered cubic (fcc) metals. With decreasing grain size, coarse-grained …

Improving the strength of the commercial ZK60 alloys plays a key role in promoting their
wide applications. In this work, a ZK60 alloy was prepared by conventional direct extrusion …
