Work-hardening behaviour of Mg single crystals oriented for basal slip
Abstract
Work-hardening behaviour of Mg single crystals oriented for basal slip was studied by means of tensile tests carried out at 4, 78 and 295 K. The crystals show critical resolved shear stress values (CRSS) for a {0001} basal slip system in the range 1–1.5 MPa. The samples exhibit two-stage work hardening characteristics consisting of a long easy glide stage and a stage of rapid hardening terminated by failure. The onset of the plastic flow up to …
