The competition mechanism between the slip motions and cleavage fractures is related to
the anisotropy of deformation behaviors, which is essential to manufacture complex optical …

Extruded polycrystalline pure magnesium (Mg) with fine grain size (~ 1.2 µm) exhibits
ductility of over 100% at room temperature, in spite of the presence of a strong basal texture …

Dense MgO ceramics with nanometer to submicrometer grain size were fabricated by high-
temperature hot-isostatic pressing, low-temperature hot-pressing, and spark plasma …

Here, an experimental study utilizing in-situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micro-
compression testing and post-mortem transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging is …

Magnesium oxide crystals show a wide variety of deformation and fracture modes under
tension. These modes are determined by the number of slip systems operating concurrently …

Single crystals of pure Mg and Mg-0.8 wt% Gd alloy oriented for non-basal slip were
deformed in plane strain compression at room and elevated temperatures to investigate …

This chapter discusses the deformation mechanisms responsible for the complex
mechanical behaviors exhibited by Mg and its alloys. The use of new experimental (eg …

To gain insight into inelastic deformation mechanisms for shocked hexagonal close-packed
(hcp) metals, particularly the role of crystal anisotropy, magnesium (Mg) single crystals were …

This paper describes the main results from in-situ and ex-situ testing and characterization
studies to reveal the effects of microstructural heterogeneities that develop during plastic …

Mg single crystals of selected 'hard'and 'soft'orientations were deformed at ambient
temperature in channel-die compression. Specimens with a 'hard'basal starting orientation …
