Deformation twinning is one of the major deformation mechanisms in crystals, which plays
an important role in determining the mechanical properties of metals and alloys. One of the …

Twinning is a major mechanism of plastic deformation in hexagonal close-packed (hcp)
structures. However, a mechanistic understanding of twin nucleation and growth has yet to …

Deformation twinning is an important plastic carrier competing with the ordinary dislocation
slip in a broad class of crystalline solids, which critically controls the mechanical properties …

Unprecedented mechanical properties of the novel TWIP/TRIP titanium alloys are controlled
by {332}< 113> twinning and stress-induced martensitic transformation, which can operate …

Abstract As multiple {11 2¯ 2} twin variants are often formed during deformation in
hexagonal close-packed (hcp) titanium, the twin-twin interaction structure has a profound …

Due to the scarcity of “easy slip” systems in hexagonal materials with a hexagonal close-
packed structure (hcp), deformation twinning plays a crucial role in determining mechanical …

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

Classical twinning theory predicted that a simple shear was able to create a perfect, twinned
structure without the need of atomic shuffles for (11 2¯ 1)[11 2¯ 6¯] twinning mode in …
