Abstract
Twinning-mediated plasticity has great potential for enhancing the strength and plasticity of Mg alloys, which is limited due to the lack of twin types. Here, we report a novel multistage twinning mode, i.e. the dominant twinning mode changes from single {101¯2} twins to the co-existence of {101¯2} and {112¯6} twins, in a deformed Mg-Al-Gd alloy. Introducing novel multistage twinning mode to accommodate strains appreciably along c-axes, combined with the interactions of high-density dislocations and dense twin boundaries, guarantees the high strain hardening of Mg alloys. These findings provide new insights into deformation mechanisms and mechanical properties of Mg-alloys.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Letters is a high impact, open access journal that focuses on the engineering and technology of materials, materials physics and chemistry, and novel and emergent materials. It supports the materials research community by publishing original and compelling research work. The journal provides fast communications on cutting-edge materials research findings, with a primary focus on advanced metallic materials and physical metallurgy. It also considers other materials such as intermetallics, ceramics, and nanocomposites. Materials Research Letters publishes papers with significant breakthroughs in materials science, including research on unprecedented mechanical and functional properties, mechanisms for processing and formation of novel microstructures (including nanostructures, heterostructures, and hierarchical structures), and the mechanisms, physics, and chemistry responsible for the observed mechanical and functional behaviors of advanced materials. The journal accepts original research articles, original letters, perspective pieces presenting provocative and visionary opinions and views, and brief overviews of critical issues.
