Inverse Slip Accompanying Twinning and Detwinning during Cyclic Loading of Magnesium Single Crystal

Figure 5

Dependence of plastic strains and other physical quantities associated with deformation mechanisms on the loading cycles. (a) Variations of twin-induced and slip-induced strains, (b) stress-plastic strain hysteresis loops, (c) the stresses at 𝐴_𝑖 and 𝐵_𝑖 and the stress range between 𝐷_𝑖 and 𝐶_𝑖. (d)–(g) Variation of twin-induced and slip-induced strains during (d) low work hardening detwinning, (e) high work hardening detwinning, (f) pure retwinning, and (g) retwinning and fresh twinning together.
