This paper presents an extensive study of the conditions of appearance of mechanical twinning and its role in the texture development during uniaxial tension, biaxial expansion and rolling of Ti and Zr alloys.With the help of literature, the analyses are extended to alloys of Mg, Zn and Be.Finally, the influence of twinning on the shape of the forming limit diagrams and on formability is discussed for hexagonal metals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
