Grain refinement could effectively enhance yield strength of Mg alloys according to the well-
known Hall-Petch theory. For decades, many studies have been devoted to the factors …

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

Grain refinement can significantly enhance the strength of metallic materials, but usually at
the sacrifice of ductility. Here we report that refinement of magnesium grains can not only …

The demand for light-weighting in transport and consumer electronics has seen rapid growth
in the commercial usage of magnesium (Mg). The major use of Mg is now in cast Mg …

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 …

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 …

Here we reported a heterogeneous fiberous structured Mg-5.6 Zn-0.6 Zr (wt%) alloy
obtained by conventional extrusion method, which exhibited high yield strength of∼ 345 …

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

Friction stir processing was applied to a magnesium alloy to generate various grain sizes
with the same intense basal texture. Subsequent tensile deformation along two orthogonal …

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 …
