TLDR
In this paper, fine-grained alloys of Mg-3Al-1Zn-0.2Mn in wt.% were obtained by an equal-channel angular extrusion technique and subsequent annealing at elevated temperatures.

Plastic anisotropy and the role of non-basal slip in magnesium alloy AZ31B

TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of experimental and simulation techniques were used to investigate the plastic behavior of wrought magnesium alloy and found that an increased activity of non-basal dislocations provides a self-consistent explanation for the observed changes in the anisotropy with increasing temperature.

Twinning and the ductility of magnesium alloys Part I: “Tension” twins

TL;DR: In this article, a series of tensile test results are reported for the common wrought alloy AZ31 and a simple constitutive model is employed to argue that View the MathML source twinning (which gives extension along the c-axis) can increase the uniform elongation in tensile tests.

Hardening evolution of AZ31B Mg sheet

TL;DR: In this article, the monotonic and cyclic mechanical behavior of O-temper AZ31B Mg sheet was measured in large-strain tension/compression and simple shear.

On the role of non-basal deformation mechanisms for the ductility of Mg and Mg–Y alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on understanding the mechanisms for ductility improvement by microstructure analysis, texture analysis and slip trace analysis based on electron backscatter diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhanced deformation mechanisms by anisotropic plasticity in polycrystalline Mg alloys at room temperature

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present room-temperature deformation mechanisms in polycrystalline Mg alloys and show that dislocation slip of basal and prismatic alloys can occur nearly at the same ease when the basal planes are tilted in such a way that the Schmid-factor ratio (equivalent to the critically resolved shear stress (CRSS) ratio) of prismatic to basal slip is larger than a value ranging from 1.5 to 2.

Slip, twinning, and fracture in hexagonal close-packed metals

TL;DR: The role of deformation twinning in fracture of hexagonal close-packed metals is reviewed from a theoretical point of view in this paper, where strength and ductility are correlated with the intrinsic physical and metallurgical variables.

The onset of twinning in metals: a constitutive description

TL;DR: In this article, a constitutive expression for the twinning stress in BCC metals is developed using dislocation emission from a source and the formation of pile-ups, as rate-controlling mechanism.
