Application of solute alloying elements to hinder deformation twinning and generate isotropic mechanical properties of Mg extrusions
Subject Area
Metallurgical, Thermal and Thermomechanical Treatment of Materials
Mechanical Properties of Metallic Materials and their Microstructural Origins
Term
from 2015 to 2019
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 276309944
The proposed project aims to minimize the mechanical anisotropy of Mg extrusions using solute alloying elements, which inhibit deformation twinning. The selected alloying elements reduce the twinning activity by hindering twin nucleation or twin growth and thereby, generating largely isotropic mechanical properties.
