A significantly refined microstructure with high twin and dislocation densities is a common
feature in the Ti surface layers subjected to laser shock peening (LSP). In this study, in order …

Abstract The interaction between {112}< 111> deformation twinning and grain boundary in
coaxial polycrystalline tantalum under shock compression was studied with molecular …

Ultrasonic surface rolling processing (USRP) was performed on a Mg–Y–Nd–Zr alloy after
equal-channel angular pressing. The result shown that the surface roughness was …

Deformation twinning is an essential plastic deformation mechanism that realizes the trade–
off between strength and ductility. Twins nucleate and grow by the coordinated slip of partial …

Grain boundary (GB) is an important microstructure and plays a vital role in the mechanical
properties of polycrystalline materials by GB migration and sliding. In this work, molecular …

Grain refinement can significantly change the tensile behavior of Mg alloys. The underlying
mechanisms are unclear yet. Here we report that grain refinement of a Mg–3Al–3Sn (wt …

The deformation of polycrystalline magnesium alloy was studied by molecular dynamics
simulation. The influencing factors of tensile properties and its deformation mechanism were …

The addition of rare earth (RE) elements can effectively improve the mechanical properties
of Mg alloys, which is attributed to its ability to regulate the plastic deformation behavior of …

The formation of multifold twins in nanocrystalline face-centered-cubic metals and alloys
was frequently ascribed to a grain boundary (GB) mediated process. However, the …

The EVPSC-TDT model is employed to mimic the stabilized stress-strain hysteresis loops of
the rolled AZ31B plate under cyclic loading in different material orientations. The predicted …
