We present a systematic investigation of {10 1¯ 2} extension twinning mechanism in single crystal magnesium micropillars deformed over seven orders of magnitude of strain rate, from …
An SEM in situ uniaxial tensile testing setup allowing HR-EBSD acquisition during deformation was used to study the extension twinning mechanism in magnesium (Mg) at the …
Abstract Basal slip and {01 1¯ 2} twinning are two major plastic deformation mechanisms in hexagonal closed-packed magnesium. Here we quantify the critical stresses associated with …
Here, an experimental study utilizing in-situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micro- compression testing and post-mortem transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging is …
In situ tension experiments were performed on oriented pure Mg single crystal specimens, within a transmission electron microscope. Several microstructure evolutions directly related …
Here, we report a comprehensive study that combines in situ scanning electron microscopy experiments and atomistic simulations to quantify the effect of crystal size on the …
The small-scale deformation behavior of single-crystalline Mg was investigated using nanoindentation combined with transmission electron microscopy observation. The …
The present study focuses on the roles of structure, stress and temperature on the mobility of facets bounding twin domains and on the overall impact on the growth kinetics of {10 1¯ 2} …
Uniaxial compression experiments were conducted on two magnesium (Mg) single crystals whose crystallographic orientations facilitate the deformation either by basal slip or by …
