Grain refinement can significantly enhance the strength of metallic materials, but usually at
the sacrifice of ductility. Here we report that refinement of magnesium grains can not only …

An innovative hybrid additive manufacturing (HAM) technology combining laser shock
peening without coating (LSPwC) and laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) has been proposed …

Magnesium and its alloys have attracted significant attention in recent years because they
display high strength‐to‐density ratios, they are biodegradable and they provide a potential …

From the mechanistic point of view, magnesium alloys are lightweight materials and are
receiving increasing attention in the past several years in various fields. Prof. Liang Zhen …

The present work, for the first time, quantitatively studies the evolution of both dislocations
and deformation twins with various strain rates in an ATZ311 Mg alloy. Interrupted tensile …

An investigation was conducted to examine the mechanical behavior and microstructure
evolution during deformation of ultrafine-grained pure magnesium at low temperatures …

This work studied the activation of the twins in a commercial cast AZ31 Mg alloy by deep
cryogenic treatment (DCT) using in-situ EBSD. The initial as-cast microstructure has a range …

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 …

This work investigates the role of slip & twinning on the strain hardening in Titanium (Ti) that
develops profound {10 1¯ 2}< 10 1¯ 1¯> extension twins (ET) during compression. The …

The mechanical response and texture evolution of rare-earth-containing magnesium alloy
sheet, ZEK100, are measured under uniaxial (tension and compression) loading along the …
