On the inhomogeneous deformation behavior of magnesium alloy beam subjected to bending

Magnesium (Mg) alloys have attracted worldwide attention as potential lightweight structural materials. However, it is still a big challenge to manufacture or process Mg alloys that have good formability and endure high strength. This mainly stems from the lack of understanding the anisotropic mechanical behavior of Mg alloys subjected to inhomogeneous deformation which exists inevitably in various material processing routes. In this respect, …
