Precipitates and micro-plasticity in Mg-7.3Sn-3.4Zn-0.04Na alloy studied by Synchrotron X-rays

AI summary Read the abstract

This study used synchrotron X-rays to investigate the effect of precipitates on microplasticity in a Mg-7.3Sn-3.4Zn-0.04Na alloy, finding that precipitates increased twin number density and critical resolved shear stress for twinning. The results showed that the Orowan model underestimates observed twin strengthening, suggesting that twinning dislocations are superdislocations composed of multiple individual twinning dislocations.

In this research the effect of precipitates on the microplasticity of the Mg-Sn-Zn alloy was investigated. at in the presence of the precipitates, the twin number density and the critical resolved shear stress of twin increased. Orowan model underestimates the observed twin strengthening. This signifies that twinning dislocation is a superdislocation composed of several twinning dislocations.

Experimental study and analysis of microplastic behavior of microheterogeneous metallic materials

AI summary Read the abstract

This experimental study investigated the microplastic deformation behavior of microheterogeneous metallic materials — alloys with a microstructure containing distinct phases or reinforcing particles. The work characterizes how microstructural heterogeneity influences the onset and distribution of small-scale plastic deformation prior to macroscopic yielding.
