Resumen: Wrought magnesium (Mg) and Mg alloys have emerged as competitive alternatives for structural components in transportation, aerospace, and medical industries due to their low density, high specific stiffness, and good biocompatibility. Designing high-performance wrought Mg alloys requires understanding the relationship between microstructure and deformation mechanisms (slip and twinning), especially at room temperature, which has not been fully established.
This thesis studies experimentally the deformation mechanisms of various wrought Mg alloys with different microstructures at ambient temperature, using state-of-the-art techniques such as electron backscatter diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, slip trace analysis, slip trace - modified lattice rotation analysis, grain reference orientation deviation, as well as machine learning.
Chapter 3 explores the deformation mechanisms of an as-extruded Mg-6.5Zn alloy with dual texture and limited yield asymmetry under tension and compression. Compressive deformation in grains with standard prismatic texture is accommodated by basal slip and extension twinning, while tensile deformation promotes basal and non-basal slips, leading to the typical yield asymmetry. Rotated grains, however, exhibit stronger yield asymmetry, with tensile deformation absorbed by basal slip and extension twinning, and compression relying on basal slip and compression twinning. Moreover, activation of non-basal slips can suppress compression twinning transforming into double twinning.
Chapter 4 studies the influence of prismatic precipitates on the deformation mechanisms of Mg-4.5Zn alloys with a strong prismatic texture during tensile deformation. In samples without precipitates, 92% of grains with slip traces are planar, primarily involving basal slip and
