Heterostructured (HS) materials are a new class of materials that are composed of
heterogeneous zones with dramatically different (> 100%) mechanical or physical …

It is an ultimate goal for almost all the metallurgists to improve strength, ductility, formability
and conductivity of metal together. However, ductility, formability and conductivity are …

Crystal Plasticity (CP) modeling is a powerful and well established computational materials
science tool to investigate mechanical structure–property relations in crystalline materials. It …

Pure magnesium exhibits poor ductility owing to pyramidal〈 c+ a〉 dislocation
transformations to immobile structures, making this lowest-density structural metal unusable …

In this paper, the relationship between anisotropic mechanical properties and the
corresponding microstructure evolution of wrought magnesium alloys is critically reviewed …

Aluminum and magnesium are two highly important lightweight metals used in automotive
applications to reduce vehicle weight. Crystallographic texture engineering through a …

The crystallographic orientations are generally non-random in wrought Mg alloy, which will
lead to their macroscopic physical properties to be anisotropic. Understanding the texture …

The influence of large (> 1μm diameter) particles on the recrystallization behaviour of
magnesium alloys deformed in plane strain compression has been studied. Deformation …

Magnesium and its alloys do not in general undergo the same extended range of plasticity
as their competitor structural metals. The present work is part I of a study that examines …

Friction stir processing was applied to a magnesium alloy to generate various grain sizes
with the same intense basal texture. Subsequent tensile deformation along two orthogonal …
