Work-hardening behaviour of Mg single crystals oriented for basal slip was studied by
means of tensile tests carried out at 4, 78 and 295 K. The crystals show critical resolved …

An ultrafine-grained (UFG) ZK60Mg alloy with an average grain size of∼ 1.0 μm was
processed by extrusion at relatively low temperature (488K) with a high area reduction ratio …

This study investigates the deformation behavior of magnesium produced by hot extrusion of
ball-milled powders in grains ranging from 120μm down to 60nm in size. For microcrystalline …

The effect of Y concentration on the slip and twinning mechanisms in binary Mg–Y alloys are
investigated using transmission electron microscopy, electron backscattered diffraction, and …

The effect of strain rate, ε̇, and temperature, T, on the tension–compression asymmetry
(TCA) in a dilute and wrought Mg alloy, AM30, over a temperature range that covers both …

Tensile twinning is a key deformation mode in magnesium and its alloys, as well as in other
hcp metals. However, the fundamentals of this mechanism are still not fully understood. In …

We review the dynamic behavior of magnesium alloys through a survey of the literature and
a comparison with our own high-strain-rate experiments. We describe high-strain-rate …

Magnesium, the lightest structural metal, usually exhibits limited ambient plasticity when
compressed along its crystallographic c-axis (the “hard” orientation of magnesium). Here we …

The high temperature deformation behavior of Mg single crystals was precisely investigated
using orientation imaging microscopy. For this purpose, Mg single crystals of various …

Abstract Samples of Mg-3Gd (wt.%) were prepared by accumulative roll-bonding followed by
annealing at different temperatures to produce samples with average grain sizes ranging …
