The deformation mechanisms of an extruded Mg-5Y-0.08 Ca (wt.%) alloy were analyzed by
means of micropillar compression tests on single crystals along different orientations …

A high-throughput methodology is proposed, based on the combination of diffusion couples
and advanced nanomechanical testing methods, to directly measure alloying effects on the …

The effect of Ca and Zn in solid solution on the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) of basal
slip, tensile twinning and pyramidal slip in Mg alloys has been measured through …

This study investigates the deformation of Al-based metal matric composites (MMCs) under

solution-treated Mg-13Gd-4Y–2Zn-0.6 Zr alloy after the upsetting and extrusion were …

This work presents a detailed investigation of twin inception to identify site of twinning,
variant type selected, and the strain to nucleate it within a full 3D reconstructed …

This review paper provides an overview of the micropillar compression technique as applied
to magnesium (Mg) and its alloys. It explores the influence of various factors, such as pillar …
