Deformation behavior of solid-solution-strengthened Mg–9 wt.% Al alloy: In situ neutron diffraction and elastic–viscoplastic self-consistent modeling

In situ neutron diffraction and elastic–viscoplastic self-consistent (EVPSC) modeling have been employed to understand the deformation mechanisms of the loading–unloading process under uniaxial tension in a solid-solution-strengthened extruded Mg–9 wt.% Al alloy. The initial texture measured by neutron diffraction shows that the {00.2} basal planes in most grains are tilted around 20–30° from the extrusion axis, indicating that basal slip …
