As one of the representative characteristics of plastic deformation, microstructural plastic
strain inhomogeneity has triggered a broad interest in uncovering the corresponding …

Deformation twinning is a prevalent plastic deformation mode in hexagonal close-packed
(HCP) materials, such as magnesium, titanium, and zirconium, and their alloys …

Deformation twins are likely nucleated at and impeded by grain boundaries (GBs),
developing shear transformation bands. Knowing the accommodated deformation in …

Shock loading causes complicated twinning processes in Ti and Ti alloys. In this work, two
types of {10 1¯ 2} sequential twinning processes are for the first time reported according to …

In this work, pure Ti and Ti-5at.% Al alloy are both cold rolled, and then characterized to
observe deformation twins {10 1¯ 1}. Many two-layer steps are observed at the {10 1¯ 1} …

Plastic deformation mechanism of metals under shock compressions is one of longstanding
interests in compression science and materials related field. In this work, shock responses of …

Mo element significantly affects the microtexture evolution of α in α+ β titanium alloys. In this
study, the evolution of microtexture during thermomechanical processing in Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr …

Twin interface characteristics play a crucial role in elucidating twin propagation, twin-twin
and twin-dislocation interactions, and then affect their mechanical properties. Herein …

This paper studies the deformation and fracture mechanism of Ti-6Al-4V titanium under high
velocity (970 m/s and 1590 m/s) and hypervelocity (2240 m/s) impacts. For the Ti-6Al-4V …

Identifying grain size and specimen thickness effects on the twinning characteristics and
