Strength-ductility trade-off is a common issue in Mg alloys. This work proposed that a
synergistic enhancement of strength and ductility could be achieved through tuning …

Deformation twinning has a significant impact on the evolution of microstructure and
mechanical response in hexagonal close packed (hcp) metals. Understanding the physical …

Since titanium has high affinity for hydrogen and reacts reversibly with hydrogen, the
precipitation of titanium hydrides in titanium and its alloys cannot be ignored. Two most …

One-fourth of the global energy losses are spent to overcome friction, making it particularly
important to reduce and minimize friction between contacting materials. Hexagonal close …

Tensile and compressive pre-yield mechanical behavior of a rolled AZ31 Mg alloy sheet was
studied by cyclic loading–unloading tests along rolling direction (RD) and transverse …

At room temperature, dynamic mechanical response of Mg–7Gd–5Y–1.2 Nd–0.5 Zr alloy
under high strain rate after severe multi-directional deformation were measured by a Split …

In this study, the evolution of extension twinning in extrusion-shear deformed ZC61 alloy,
including nucleation, growth, and detwinning, during two-step interrupted dynamic …

The NiTiNb shape memory alloys (SMAs) used in practice usually exist in a polycrystalline
form with a strong texture. However, the performance differences in forged or rolled rods in …

Based on generalized Schmid factor (G-SF) calculation, the twinning character and texture
development in the rolling plate of randomly-oriented AZ31B magnesium alloy were …

Application of polycrystalline hexagonal close packed (HCP) metals in engineering designs
has been constrained by their anisotropic responses due to twinning and limited plasticity. In …
