In situ observation of the intergranular deformation behaviour of ME20 magnesium alloy
Intergranular deformation behavior plays a pivotal role in enhancing magnesium alloy ductility. This study elucidates intergranular deformation mechanisms in high-ductility ME20 alloy through in situ tensile testing combined with EBSD analysis. Digital image correlation (DIC) analysis reveals enhanced deformation homogeneity in fine-grained regions, while mixed-grain zones develop strain localization at triple junctions due to back stress accumulation. Special-orientation twin boundaries restrict strain accommodation in coarse grains. Three-dimensional strain accommodation during later deformation stages is achieved through coordinated activation of pyramidal II <c+a> and basal <a> slip. Notably, high geometric compatibility factor (m') value boundaries enable slip transmission yet paradoxically act as preferred microcrack nucleation sites. This mechanistic revelation establishes intergranular deformation as the governing factor for ME20 alloy’s enhanced ductility.
