Cyclic deformation behavior of a high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) magnesium alloy with heterostructures by H. Wang, D.T. Zhang, C. Qiu, D.L. Chen

“…However, the homogenized alloy showed a longer fatigue life at a high strain amplitude of 0.8 % due to its better ductility and stronger capacity of storing deformation. While {10–12}<10−11> extension twinning occurred in both the homogenized and HSLA samples at high strain amplitudes, twins were primarily formed in the coarse unDRX grains in the compressive phase during cyclic deformation due to the c-axes of unDRX grains perpendicular to the loading direction, with twinning in the ultra-fine DRX grains being suppressed. …”
