It is well-established that Mg-3Al-1Zn (AZ31) alloy exhibits much better tensile ductility than
pure Mg. However, the underlying mechanisms for such difference still remain relatively …

Mg alloys generally suffer from their poor formability at low temperatures due to their strong
basal texture and a lack of adequate deformation systems. In the present study, a small …

Three Mg–Al–Zn alloys (AZ31, AZ61 and AZ91) were subjected to plane-strain compression
at different temperatures (200 and 400° C) and strain rates (10− 2 and 10− 4s− 1). The effect …

Poor formability at room temperature is a key problem that limits the application of Mg alloys.
Formability is closely dependent on both large work-hardening capacity and high tensile …

In this study, the dislocation behavior of a polycrystalline Mg-5Y alloy during tensile
deformation was quantitatively studied by an in-situ tensile test, visco-plastic self-consistent …

The microstructural evolution and slip activity in a pure Mg and AZX211 alloy during room
and cryogenic temperatures (CT:− 50° C,− 100° C and− 150° C) deformation has been …

Deformation mechanisms were investigated in fine-grain (d= 7 μm) AZ31 Mg alloy in order to
understand their excellent room-temperature ductility. Dislocation cross slip from basal to …

Mg–Y alloys show significantly enhanced room temperature ductility compared to pure Mg
and other classical Mg wrought alloys. The presented study focuses on understanding the …

Abstract An extruded Mg-3.0 Y alloy with non-basal texture of< 4 2¯ 2¯ 3> component was
fabricated by common extrusion and exhibited a high elongation of∼ 33%. The deformation …

The plasticity of coarse and grain-refined Mg AZ80 alloys in the as-cast, γ-dissolved and
homogenized states was investigated by specialized tensile testing at room temperature …
