Effect of texture on the damping capacity of ZK60 magnesium alloy is investigated through compression experiments with a deformation of 10% at room temperature. It is found that both the dislocation networks, twins and the basal texture intensity affect the damping capacity. At the low strain amplitudes, the dislocation networks and twins are dominant and the damping capacity decreases with the increase in the dislocation networks and twins. At the high strain amplitudes, the basal texture intensity is dominant and the damping capacity decreases with the increase in the basal texture intensity. Based on the anisotropy of the damping capacity of the wrought magnesium alloys, this research provides provide a direction for the study of high-strength and high-damping magnesium alloys.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
