Summary: Temperature has a significant influence on the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) of slips and twinning in Mg single crystals. Non-basal slip occurs in the temperature range of 613 to 733 K when the single crystal samples are stretched along the <01<($)over bar> 10 > direction, while basal slip and prismatic slip are mainly activated from room temperature to 733 K when the tensile directions are inclined at an angle of 45 degrees with the basal and the prismatic plane, respectively. CRSSs of different deformation modes show different temperature dependence.

Summary: A novel method using neutron diffraction was proposed to determine stresses and critical resolved shear stresses. The advantage of this method is that it directly measures the stresses for grain groups with similar orientations without the need for data interpretation models. It also allows for the determination of the uncertainty of the measured values and an explanation of the anisotropic mechanical behavior of the alloy. The method can also validate intergranular interaction assumptions and reduce the number of unknown parameters in the model.

Summary: The presence of Y and Ca in a magnesium-based alloy led to a significant increase in the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) for different deformation mechanisms, including basal slip, pyramidal slip, and tensile twin nucleation. This change in CRSS altered the dominant deformation mechanisms in polycrystals, replacing tensile twinning with prismatic slip during compressive deformation. The reduction of twinning and the activation of prismatic slip were responsible for the high tensile ductility of the alloy.

Summary: This study revealed the diffusional-displacive dominated formation mechanism of beta(1) phase in Mg-Sm alloys using aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy observation and first-principles calculations. Shear and atomic shuffling can transform hexagonal close-packed structure to face-centered-cubic structure, and beta(1) phase formation can also be realized from other intermediate phases through solute diffusion and shuffle transformation. A new habit plane on the non-close-packed plane has been identified, enriching the diffusional-displacive transformations.

Summary: The texture and microstructure formation of a Ca-added alloy, AZX612, during uniaxial tensile deformation at elevated temperatures is reported. The total elongation increases with temperature primarily due to prolonged unstable plastic deformation. The significant elongation at high temperatures is attributable to the relaxation of strain concentration via continuous dynamic recrystallization.

Summary: The CRSS and plastic deformation of titanium with HCP structure are highly anisotropic, alloying affects the CRSS, and rational composition design can improve mechanical properties. Prediction of CRSS is challenging due to atomic randomness of the alloy, and first-principles methods are used in this study to calculate GSFEs for Ti-Al alloys and evaluate CRSS within a Peierls-Nabarro model framework. Increasing Al concentration in the alloy impacts the GSFE and CRSS, which successfully explains the measured mechanical properties of the alloy.

Summary: The compression of a commercial cast magnesium alloy at room and cryogenic temperatures showed that cryogenic deformation resulted in higher flow stress, higher strain hardening rate, and moderately reduced strain to failure compared to room temperature deformation. This was attributed to the increased fraction of finer twins and twin twin interactions at cryogenic temperatures, which was found to be more effective in hardening than dislocation density.

Summary: The ductility of pure magnesium was enhanced about 3 times at room temperature compared with the initial material due to the proposed concept of shear strain-induced twin orientation regulation (SITOR), where shear deformation was introduced to regulate the initial tension twin orientation, resulting in a larger Schmid factor of basal slip, thus improving the plasticity of pure Mg significantly.

Summary: This article reports the abnormal phenomenon that twin boundaries weaken the strength of body-centered cubic (BCC) tungsten. [1-11]-oriented W nanowires with (121) twin planes and free of dislocations were fabricated, and in situ tensile tests were performed. The fracture strength of the twinned W nanowire was found to be 13.7 GPa, 16% lower than that of the single-crystal W nanowire (16.3 GPa). The weakening mechanism was revealed to be the early nucleation of a crack at the intersection of the twin boundary with the surface.

Summary: This research investigates the strain-dependent activation of second-order<c+a>pyramidal slip and other non-basal systems in a Mg-Zn alloy. The results show that at low strains, basal slip is the dominant deformation mechanism, but at higher strains, the activity of pyramidal slip increases significantly. Other non-basal deformation mechanisms, such as compression twinning and slip transfer between pyramidal planes, are also induced by pyramidal slip at higher strains. The availability of multiple deformation mechanisms at high strains contributes to the improved ductility of the Mg-Zn alloy.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of solute segregation on the twin activity of aged Mg alloys. The authors examine the binary Mg-8Al alloy and two ternary Mg-8Al-1 Zn and Mg-8Al-1Ag alloys. They find that while the binary alloy shows no significant changes in twin activity after precipitation, the aged ternary alloys exhibit a drastic reduction in twin activity, possibly due to the decrease of particle-matrix interface energy caused by Zn and Ag segregation.

Summary: A dual-textured Mg-6.5 Zn alloy with limited yield asymmetry is studied. The deformation mechanisms responsible for the behavior are analyzed and it is found that compressive deformation is accommodated by basal slip and extension twinning, while tensile deformation promotes basal and nonbasal slip. The contribution of rotated grains leads to similar values of the yield strength in tension and compression.

Summary: This paper improves the second-order computational homogenisation method by introducing the concept of equivalent homogenised volume, addressing the limitations of classical methods in dealing with lattices and metamaterial local instabilities. The non-uniform body-force term is derived from the equivalence of energy between the micro- and macroscopic volumes, reducing the dependence of homogenised response on the volume element size.

Summary: The transformation from compression twins (CT) to double twins (DT) was studied in a dual-textured Mg-6.5%Zn(wt.) alloy during deformation along the extrusion axis. After 7.3% compression, 85% of CT transformed to DT. However, during tension, the transformation ratio dropped to 22% and 36% despite higher applied stresses and strains. The differences in DT activity could not be explained by the Schmid factor, indicating that the activation of non-basal slip plays a role in suppressing the CT to DT transformation.

Summary: The mechanical behavior, corrosion mechanisms, and cytocompatibility of magnesium wires reinforced poly-lactic acid polymer composites were investigated through a 180-day in vitro degradation study. Plasma-electrolytic oxidation surface modification of Mg wires improved the interface shear strength from 10.9 MPa to 26.3 MPa, but decreased to 8 MPa and 13.6 MPa in Mg/PLA and PEO-Mg/PLA composites after 42 days degradation. The cross-sections of the composites exhibited good cytocompatibility, with cells tending to migrate towards the PLA regions and avoiding the surface of the Mg wires. The corrosion rate of surface-modified Mg wires was significantly reduced, with only 3% mass loss after 180 days.
