The interaction of twins and precipitates in a Mg-7.7 at.% Al alloy
Abstract
Deformation twinning has been studied in a precipitation-strengthened Mg-7.7 at.% Al alloy by transmission electron microscopy. The nature of the interaction between the twins and the second phase was found to be dependent on the relative thickness of the twin and the precipitate. Twins were observed to engulf, bypass or impinge upon the precipitates, but the precipitates themselves were not twinned. The bypass mechanism was associated with a …
