Impact-induced twinning in a magnesium alloy under different stress conditions

Journal Article · · Materials Science and Engineering. A, Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and Processing

We investigate deformation twinning in a highly textured magnesium alloy plate of Mg-3.1%Al-0.9%Zn-0.4%Mn under edge-on impact with in situ, synchrotron-based, ultrafast X-ray diffraction measurements, and corresponding stress states are simulated with the finite element method. Deformation twinning and its anisotropy under the triaxial stress condition are explained by a statistical analysis of resolved shear stress. The critical resolved shear stress criterion is applicable under complicated stress conditions induced by high strain rate impact loading. Three typical simple stress conditions are further explored as verification and application cases: uniaxial-stress, uniaxial-strain, and plane-stress. Extension twinning in the magnesium alloy is prone to occur for impact loading applied perpendicular to the crystallographic c-axis, regardless of the exact stress conditions.
