Effect of local stresses of primary twinning on double twinning, twin intersection and their competition

Influence of deformation banding instabilities on small scale yielding of a Mg–Nd alloy revealed by in-situ digital image correlation

“…Traditionally, the inhomogeneous plastic flow in Mg alloys was largely associated with the avalanche of localized extension twining activity 10,11 . Twinning, as an important deformation mechanism in Mg, is dependent on the loading path relative to the grain crystal orientation [12][13][14][15] . Specifically, the deformation of highly textured Mg alloys in compression along the extrusion or rolling direction is dominated by extension twinning [16][17][18] .…”
