Influence of precipitates on basal dislocation slip and twinning in AZ91 micro-pillars

Influence of Al and Zn alloying additions on the deformation mechanisms of Mg alloys

“…Several mechanisms of interaction between twin boundaries and particles lying on basal and prismatic planes have been proposed to date. Most studies claim that the passage of the twin boundary leads to an elastic rotation of the precipitate lattice of a few degrees (3 to 7º) [71,165,166], and the precipitate becomes ultimately engulfed by the twin. Some works have reported that the precipitate lattice is also twinned internally, or even dissolved [167] as a consequence of the passage of the twin boundary [165].…”
