Abstract

In this work, tension and compression deformation behaviors of rolled and aged Mg-Y-Nd alloys were investigated. The microstructure evolution and plastic deformation mechanism during tension and compression were analyzed by combined use of electron backscatter diffraction and a visco-plastic self-consistent crystal plasticity model. The results show that both rolled and aged Mg-Y-Nd sheets show an extremely low yield asymmetry. Elimination of yield asymmetry can be ascribed to the tilted basal texture and suppression of {10-12} twinning. The rolled sheet has almost no yield asymmetry, however exhibits a remarkable strain-hardening behavior asymmetry. Compressed sample shows lower initial strain hardening rate and keeps higher strain hardening rate at the later stage compared with tension. The strain-hardening asymmetry can be aggravated by aging at 280 C. It is considered the limited amount of twins in compression plays the critical role in the strain hardening asymmetry. Finally, the relevant mechanism was analyzed and discussed.
