Reduction of compression-tension yield asymmetry in binary Mg Gd alloys via mastering their crystallographic textures

Compression-tension asymmetry (CTA) in yield strength is one of the issues that hinders widespread application of wrought Magnesium (Mg) alloys. Strong basal texture formed in thermomechanical processing and the difference in activation of deformation twinning in tension and compression are responsi... View More
