A quantitative study on mechanical behavior of Mg alloys with bimodal texture components

The mechanical and twinning behavior of Mg alloys containing a monolithic texture component have been extensively studied; however, studies on samples with multi texture components are much insufficient. In this study, the quantitative relationship between the mechanical behavior under tension along the extrusion direction (ED) of Mg AZ31 rods and the percentages of bimodal texture components <0002>// ED (19–87%) and <0002>⊥ED were systematically studied. …
