Ambient temperature compression tests with concurrent acoustic emission (AE) measurements have been performed on a hydrostatically extruded, fine-grained, round bar of alloy AZ31 parallel to the extrusion axis. A multiple increase in the AE count rates to peak intensities was detected with increasing strain. An analysis of the samples tested to specific values of strain using electron backscattering diffraction revealed that (10–12) twins first appear in large grains and that only with increasing strain do smaller grains tend to twin.

A comparative study on the effect of 0.5 wt% Ca or Ce on the microstructure, texture, and mechanical properties of the hot-rolled Mg-4Li alloy
2024, Materials Today Communications
The microstructure, texture, and mechanical properties of the hot-rolled Mg-4Li, Mg-4Li-0.5Ca and Mg-4Li-0.5Ce alloy were examined. The results indicated that the addition of either Ca or Ce significantly refined the microstructure and largely randomized the texture distribution of as-rolled Mg-4Li. Meanwhile, Mg-4Li-0.5Ca exhibited a relatively smaller grain size and a more scattered texture distribution compared to Mg-4Li-0.5Ce, probably attributed to the more prominent recrystallization in Mg-4Li-0.5Ca. Additionally, owing to the more refined microstructure and dispersed Mg₂Ca, the strength of Mg-4Li-0.5Ca is much higher than that of Mg-4Li-0.5Ce, while both of them are superior to the counterpart of Mg-4Li. Moreover, by benefiting from the enhanced activation of non-basal slip, Mg-4Li-0.5Ce exhibits a much larger elongation compared to Mg-4Li. However, the elongation of Mg-4Li-0.5Ca is slightly lower than that of Mg-4Li, potentially ascribed to the occurrence of preferred cracking within the eutectic-like Mg₂Ca.
Investigating acoustic emission during macro-indentation of AZ 31 magnesium alloy
2024, Journal of Alloys and Compounds
Accelerated mechanical characterization is crucial for enabling the rapid assessment of mechanical properties during process optimization or material development. This article introduces an innovative approach, combining profilometer-based indentation plastometry (PIP) with a real-time acoustic emission (AE) monitoring system. This approach assists in comprehensively assessing both mechanical properties and the underlying deformation mechanisms during indentation through AE emission. In this study, we investigate the effect of grain size variation on acoustic emission in AZ31 magnesium alloy during PIP indentation. Our findings demonstrate that PIP-inferred yield strength is notably higher (68 MPa) for samples with smaller grain sizes (70 µm) compared to those with large grain sizes (98 µm), with a yield strength of 46 MPa. Moreover, AE-energies are notably lower in samples with smaller grain sizes as opposed to those with larger grain sizes. To further gain insight into the dominant deformation mechanism, a non-supervised cluster analysis, in conjunction with electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) analysis, reveals that the major deformation systems are basal dislocation glide $\{0001\} 〈11 \overset{̅}{2} 0〉$ and extension twinning $\{10 \overset{̅}{1} 2\} 〈10 \overset{̅}{1} 1〉$ .
Effect of extrusion ratio on microstructures, mechanical properties, and high cycle fatigue behavior of Mg–5Zn–1Mn alloy
2024, Journal of Materials Research and Technology
The effects of extrusion ratio (ER) on the microstructures, static mechanical properties, and tension-compression high cycle fatigue (HCF) behavior of the as-extruded Mg–5Zn–1Mn (ZM51) alloy was investigated systematically, and the HCF mechanism was discussed. The results show that texture weakening and grain refinement caused by increasing the ER can effectively enhance the static mechanical properties and alleviate the tensile-compressive asymmetry of the alloy. The fatigue strength at 10⁷ cycles is 124 ± 5, 138 ± 4, and 142 ± 5 MPa for ER8, ER11.5, and ER23, respectively, and the corresponding fatigue ratio is approximately 0.45, 0.49, and 0.50, which means that the as-extruded ZM51 alloy possesses outstanding fatigue resistance. The failure analysis and microstructure evolution of post-fatigued samples demonstrated that the stress amplitudes and microstructure characteristics strongly influence the HCF mechanism of the alloy. At high-stress load, close to the tensile yield strength 160–180 MPa, abundant { $10 \overline{1} 2$ } residual twin bands were observed near the fracture surface. Twinning/detwinning deformation is the dominant fatigue mechanism due to the plastic deformation incompatibility between the matrix and the residual twins. At low-stress load, close to the fatigue strength 125–145 MPa, the fatigue crack initiation mechanism transits from twinning/detwinning to dislocation slip. Grain refinement and texture weakening inhibit the activation of { $10 \overline{1} 2$ } twins, alleviate the twin-dislocation interaction, and promote dislocation slip to dominate the fatigue deformation, thereby enhancing the fatigue life of the alloy. This work provides new insight into the design and development for enhancing the fatigue resistance of wrought Mg alloy to ensure the long-term service safety of structural materials.
Origin of nucleation and growth of extension twins in grains unsuitably oriented for twinning during deformation of Mg-1%Al
2024, Journal of Magnesium and Alloys
A large number of anomalous extension twins, with low or even negative twinning Schmid factors, were found to nucleate and grow in a strongly textured Mg-1Al alloy during tensile deformation along the extruded direction. The deformation mechanisms responsible for this behaviour were investigated through in-situ electron back-scattered diffraction, grain reference orientation deviation, and slip trace-modified lattice rotation. It was found that anomalous extension twins nucleated mainly at the onset of plastic deformation at or near grain boundary triple junctions. They were associated with the severe strain incompatibility between neighbour grains as a result from the different <a> basal slip-induced lattice rotations. Moreover, the anomalous twins were able to grow with the applied strain due to the continuous activation of <a> basal slip in different neighbour grains, which enhanced the strain incompatibility. These results reveal the complexity of the deformation mechanisms in Mg alloys at the local level when deformed along hard orientations.
Exceptional reversed yield strength asymmetry in a rare-earth free Mg alloy containing quasicrystal precipitates
2024, Journal of Magnesium and Alloys
This work reports an exceptional reversed yield strength asymmetry at room temperature for a rare-earth free magnesium alloy containing a mass of fine dispersed quasicrystal (I-phase) precipitates. Although exhibiting traditional basal texture, it owns an exceptional CYS/TYS as high as ∼1.17. Electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) examinations indicate pyramidal <c + a> and prismatic <c> dislocations plus tensile twinning being activated after immediate yielding in compression while basal and non-basal <a> dislocations in tension. I-phase particles transferred the concentrated stress by self-twinning to provide the driving force for tensile twin initiating in neighboring grains, thereby significantly increasing the critical resolved shear stress of tensile twinning to possibly the level of pyramidal <c + a> slip, finally leading to the dominance of pyramidal <c + a> slip plus tensile twinning in texture grains. This results in a higher contribution on yield strength by ∼55 MPa in compression than in tension, which reasonably agrees with the experimental yield strength difference (∼38 MPa). It can be concluded that I-phase particles influence deformation modes in tension and in compression, finally result in reversed yield strength asymmetry.
Implications of twinning on the microstructure development, crystallographic texture and mechanical performance of Mg alloys- a critical review
2023, Journal of Magnesium and Alloys
Deformation twinning is profusely activated in the Mg alloys due to lower critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) compared to the non-basal slip systems (prismatic <a> and pyramidal <c + a>) and plays a significant role in texture reorientation, grain refinement and enhancement of mechanical performance. Twinning is a sequential process comprising twin nucleation, twin propagation and twin growth, hence several intrinsic and extrinsic parameters that facilitate or suppress the process have been critically reviewed. The dependence of twinning on the grain size, deformation temperature, favorable grain orientation and shear strain have been thoroughly discussed in the context of published literature and an attempt has been made to provide a benchmark conclusive finding based on the majority of works. Furthermore, the subsequent effect of twinning on the mechanical performance of Mg alloys, including ductility, formability and tension-compression asymmetry has been discussed in detail. Lastly, the stability of twins, including stress and thermal stability, is summarized and critical issues related to pertinent bottlenecks have been addressed.
