In this paper, we systematically proposed the strategy of tailoring strain delocalization to
evade long-standing strength-ductility trade-off dilemma. The scientific contribution is to …

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 …

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 …

Slip transfer across grain boundaries (GBs) is an important mechanism for HCP metals to
accommodate intergranular deformation incompatibility. In this work, an in-situ SEM/EBSD …

As the lightest structural metal material, magnesium alloys possess good casting properties,
high electrical and thermal conductivity, high electromagnetic shielding, and excellent …

Achieving a high strength-ductility synergy in rolled Mg alloys remains a major challenge,
especially for Mg alloys with high contents of rare earth (RE) elements, which are hard-to …

Abstract Two alloys with (T4-4h) and without (T4-8h) long-period stacking ordered (LPSO)
phase were obtained by solution treatment of as-cast Mg-1Al-12Y alloy at 540° C for 4 h and …

The wrought rare-earth and rare-earth-free magnesium alloys exhibit differences in plasticity
due to different slip and twinning behaviors. In this paper, the microstructure evolution and …

This paper investigates the intergranular deformation behavior and its effect on the overall
ductility of a Mg-Gd-Y alloy, using in-situ tension in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) …

In this work, AZ81 alloys reinforced with 3 wt%, 6 wt% and 9 wt% TC4 (Ti–6Al–4V) particles
were fabricated using two-step stirring. The tensile results revealed that the TC4 particles …
