Samples were deformed at two distinct strain levels of 0.05 and 0.10, with tests conducted over different numbers of deformation cycles at each strain level. A detailed microstructural investigation using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) revealed that in-plane cyclic shear induced the formation of numerous tensile twins (TTWs) in the alloy sheet. Both the shear strain and the number of deformation cycles contributed to an increase in the twin volume fraction (TVF), which played a critical role in texture evolution. Notably, unlike in-plane shear (IPS) deformation, where two satellite peaks appear in opposite quadrants, in-plane cyclic shear resulted in satellite peaks across all four quadrants of the pole figure. The evolution of texture components across all four quadrants arises from the load variations under forward and reverse loading during cyclic deformation. Thus, in-plane cyclic shear deformation can generate texture components along nearly all directions in the pole figures. Additionally, microstructural and microtextural analyses revealed that TTW is the dominant deformation mechanism, contributing to texture evolution. Furthermore, the resolved shear stress (RSS) analysis indicated that prismatic slip activity predominantly governs dislocation slip behavior.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"13 3","pages":"Pages 1258-1274"},"PeriodicalIF":15.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143518091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particularly, the MgH₂<img>Ni/C displays remarkable cycling stability, which maintains a high capacity of 6.01 wt.% (98.8% of initial capacity) even after 50 full hydrogen ab/desorption cycles, while the undoped MgH₂ counterpart retains only 85.2% of its initial capacity.

Recent advancements in modern powder metallurgy techniques, such as spark plasma technique (SPS), have enabled achieving near-net-shape products with tailored properties and decreased in-process oxidation. However, improving their mechanical and physical properties require further enhancement. In this study, a novel Mg-0.7Ca alloy was produced using SPS process. The effects of process parameters such as sintering time and additive type on the microstructural evolutions, phase arrangements, and mechanical and physical properties of the consolidated materials were investigated through various characterization techniques. Full-dense samples were produced from 60-minute ball-milled powder mixtures through spark plasma sintering at 420 °C for 7, 10, and 13 min under 38 MPa of externally applied pressure. The obtained samples were then characterized using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD), X-ray Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis methods, as well as mechanical tests including compression strength and micro-hardness measurements. The results indicated that while improved densification behavior is observed in paraffin-contained samples, relatively better compression properties are achieved in starch-contained alloys. It is also found that the phase arrangement of the starch-contained samples includes higher fractions of the secondary phases such as oxides and residual carbons, which can positively affect the mechanical strength, despite decreased hardness. The microstructural characterizations showed an intensified thermomechanical response of the materials in both groups via increased sintering time. However, the competition between the influencing parameters causes scattered strengthening behavior and texture in the consolidated samples.
