Due to lattice reorientation, grain segmentation, induced recrystallization, twins play a very
important role in regulating texture, refining grains, improving mechanical properties and …

Although several strategies (including grain refinement, texture adjustment, precipitation
hardening, etc.) have been verified to effectively improve the mechanical properties of …

Twinning-induced plasticity plays a critical role in determining the deformation behaviors of
hexagonal close-packed metals (eg, Mg and Ti), due to the lack of five independent slip …

Although magnesium alloys deform extensively through shear strains and crystallographic
