Strain-Path Dependence of {101¯2} Twinning in a Rolled Mg–3Al–1Zn Alloy: Influence of Twinning Model

In magnesium and its alloys, {101¯2}$$ \{ 10\bar{1}2\} $$ tension twinning is an important deformation mode and is highly dependent on the strain path. Although the {101¯2}$$ \{ 10\bar{1}2\} $$-twinning behavior has been extensively modeled, the effects of twinning models on the predicted results has seldom been compared. In this study, two typical twinning models, predominant twin reorientation (PTR) and twinning-detwinning (TDT), were chosen …
