Abstract:The effect of inhomogeneous deformation on twinning behavior during uniaxial compression of AZ31 magnesium alloy at room temperature was investigated with electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) technique. The evolution of twin area fraction in three locations, typical of a dead zone, an easy zone and a free zone with strain was analyzed. The results show that the twin area fractions at the locations in dead zone, easy zone and free zone are different at compression strains less than 8%. As compression strai… Show more
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.
