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

This paper reviews the current state of the art in the simulation of the mechanical behavior of
polycrystalline materials by means of computational homogenization. The key ingredients of …

A TD-split basal texture with two peaks highly tilted from the normal direction (ND) towards
the transverse direction (TD) is usually developed in Mg-Zn-Ca plates and can effectively …

Magnesium (Mg) alloys with low concentrations of rare earth additions are known to exhibit
strengths and ductility that are significantly higher than those obtained in traditional Mg …

The deformation mechanisms of an extruded Mg-5Y-0.08 Ca (wt.%) alloy were analyzed by
means of micropillar compression tests on single crystals along different orientations …

Magnesium, the lightest structural metal, usually exhibits limited ambient plasticity when
compressed along its crystallographic c-axis (the “hard” orientation of magnesium). Here we …

The high texture dependence of a Hall–Petch slope (k) for Mg alloys has been frequently
reported. Several important equations used to calculate k have been previously developed …

Constructing bimodal grain structure is a promising approach to achieve the high strength-
ductility synergy in Mg alloy. Formation of bimodal grain is closely related to the dynamic …

The effect of Ca and Zn in solid solution on the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) of basal
slip, tensile twinning and pyramidal slip in Mg alloys has been measured through …

The influence of Zn on the strain hardening of as-extruded Mg-xZn (x= 1, 2, 3 and 4 wt%)
magnesium alloys was investigated using uniaxial tensile tests at 10− 3 s-1 at room …
