Microscopic deformation compatibility is a key in achieving high ductility in polycrystalline magnesium alloys. This paper presents a grain-level compatibility investigation of Mg-Gd-Y alloy using in-situ tension in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD) and digital image correlation (DIC) techniques. The results show that strain amplitudes are not always higher in grains with high Schmid factors of basal slip. Thus, the Schmid law can hardly predict the strain amplitudes at grain level. In addition, the average intergranular strains are higher than the average intragranular strain and a strong surrounding effect grain-to-grain was found. A slip-transfer parameter m', describing the surrounding effect, was used to evaluate the deformation compatibility. It is found that a high m' value and a high Schmid factor of certain slip system in the adjacent grains would result in a good compatibility around grain boundaries and could accommodate higher local strains, which would improve the ductility of magnesium alloys.
