Deformation twinning, which occurs in fcc metals only under particular conditions of intrinsic material properties, microstructure, and loading conditions, occupies an indispensable place in their deformation mechanism maps. Nonetheless,…
Metastable alloys, such as $\beta$-phase titanium (Ti) alloys with a body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice, can exhibit exceptional mechanical properties through the interplay of multiple deformation mechanisms -- diffusionless phase…
Plasticity in body-centered cubic (BCC) nanocrystals is often associated with twin nucleation phenomena under extreme loading conditions. Here, we reveal unconventional twinning pathways that operate at the intersection of crystal…
There is growing interest in promoting deformation twinning for plasticity in advanced materials, as highly organized twin boundaries are beneficial to better strength-ductility combination in contrast to disordered grain boundaries.…
Plastic deformation of metallic alloys usually takes place through slip, but occasionally involves twinning. In particular, twinning is important in hexagonal close packed materials where the easy slip systems are insufficient to…
Deformation twinning is a form of permanent deformation that is commonly observed in low symmetry crystals such as hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals. With recent increased interest in using hcp metals, such as magnesium, in structural,…
Contraction twinning in magnesium alloys leads to new grains that are misoriented from the parent grain by a rotation of 56 deg around the a-axis. The classical theory of deformation twinning does not precise the atomic displacements and…
Deformation twinning is an important deformation mechanism in a variety of materials, including metals and ceramics. This deformation mechanism is particularly important in low-symmetry hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals such as Magnesium…
Coarse-grained, metallic materials undergo microstructure refinement during tribological loading. This in turn results in changing tribological properties, so understanding deformation under tribological load is mandatory when designing…
The competition between deformation twinning and dislocation slip underpins the evolution of mesoscale plasticity in face-centered cubic materials. While competition between these mechanisms is known to be related to the critical features…
Metals with fcc structure may exhibit deformation twinning under specific conditions, which is an interesting but somewhat elusive aspect of their deformation behavior. It is well acknowledged that the phenomenon occurs through the…
A crystallographic displacive model is proposed for the extension twins in magnesium. It is based on a hard-sphere assumption previously used for martensitic transformations. The atomic displacements are established, and the homogeneous…
The martensitic transformation is one of the most important phenomena in metals science due to its essential contribution to the strength of steels and most engineering alloys. Yet the basic, atomistic mechanisms leading to martensite…
Dislocation slip and deformation twin are widely regarded as two important mechanisms of active competition in the process of plastic deformation. Calculating and comparing the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) of two deformation modes…
Stacking defects in noble metal nanoparticles significantly impact their optical, catalytic, and electrical properties. While some mechanisms behind their formation have been studied, the ability to deliberately manipulate nanoparticle bulk…
Extensive atomistic simulations based on the quasiparticle (QA) approach are performed to determine the momentous aspects of the displacive fcc/bcc phase transformation in a binary system. We demonstrate that the QA is able to predict the…
The impact of twin boundaries (TBs) on the microstructure evolution and plastic deformation mechanisms of face-centered cubic (FCC) metals has been extensively studied since the discovery that nanotwinned materials exhibit a favorable…
The cyclic deformation behavior of extruded Mg-8.5wt.%Al alloy with a conventional extrusion texture and a modified texture is systematically investigated by in-situ neutron diffraction and elastic viscoplastic self-consistent (EVPSC)…
A new $\beta$-metastable Ti-alloy is designed with the aim to obtain a TWIP alloy but positioned at the limit between the TRIP/TWIP and the TWIP dominated regime. The designed alloy exhibits a large ductility combined with an elevated and…
Ti exhibits complex plastic deformation controlled by active dislocation and twinning systems. Understandings on dislocation cores and twin interfaces are currently not complete or quantitative, despite extensive experimental and simulation…
