We conducted uniaxial compression of single crystalline Mg alloy, AZ31 (Al 3 wt% and Zn 1
wt%) nanopillars with diameters between 300 and 5000 nm with two distinct crystallographic …

The aim of the present work is to assess the activity of the dominant deformation slip systems
in the commercial cast alloy Mg-9% wt. Al-1% wt. Zn (AZ91) in the as-rolled, solution treated …

Commercial purity (99.8%) magnesium single crystals were subjected to plane strain
compression (PSC) along the c-axis at 200 and 370° C and a constant strain rate of 10− 3s …

Despite a large body of work devoted to understanding the deformation of polycrystalline
magnesium, there are still some outstanding questions, not the least of which are the nature …

Plastic deformation of hexagonal metals such as magnesium is strongly affected by the
hexagonal crystal structure, and thus, for an understanding of the deformation behaviour of …

As a consequence of the high critical stresses required for the activation of non-basal slip
systems, dynamic recrystallization plays a vital role in the deformation of magnesium …

A hierarchical multi-scale model was used to study the effect of high pressure on the critical
shear stresses of MgO. The two main slip systems, ½⟨ 110⟩{110} and ½⟨ 110⟩{100}, were …

We have recently reported that a high strain-rate rolling process is effective for producing
strong and ductile Mg alloy sheets. Here we elucidate the fundamental mechanisms that are …

We investigate the synergistic effects of texture and intrinsic plastic anisotropy (at the level of
single crystal) on the deformation of polycrystalline magnesium using three-dimensional …

In polycrystalline materials, the stress corresponding to twin nucleation is difficult to separate
from twin growth because these events occur concurrently during deformation. In this work …
