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

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+ …

Twinning-induced plasticity plays a critical role in determining the deformation behaviors of
hexagonal close-packed metals (eg, Mg and Ti), due to the lack of five independent slip …

In this study, an ultra-high yield strength (~ 417 MPa) and moderate ductility (~ 12.9%) was
obtained in Mg–8.2 Gd–3.8 Y–1.0 Zn–0.4 Zr (wt%) alloy through a method of decreased …

In this study, ultrasonic surface rolling process (USRP) was used to fabricate a gradient
nanostructured commercial pure titanium. The site-specific microstructure, refining …

In this paper, compression-torsion experiments were used to study the hot deformation
behavior of as-homogenized Mg-13Gd-4Y-2Zn-0.5 Zr alloy at 350° C under different …

Crystalline defects (eg, dislocations, disclinations and grain boundaries) play a critical role
in determining the mechanical and functional properties of metallic materials. From a …

Twins and fine microstructure can improve the surface properties of magnesium alloys.
However, most of the current grain refinement and twinning technologies are costly or …

In this study, we investigate the twinning behavior and dynamic recrystallization (DRX) of Mg–
7Sn–3Zn alloy under a high strain rate (10 s− 1) during hot compression deformation. At a …

In this work, a novel texture control strategy, shear strain-induced twin orientation regulation
(SITOR), was employed to fabricate the Mg–3Al–1Zn (AZ31) alloy with significantly improved …
