Abstract
This study investigates the effects of precompression and subsequent annealing on the tensile deformation behavior of a rolled AZ31 Mg alloy at room temperature using digital image correlation (DIC). When the as-rolled sample (AR sample) is subjected to precompresssion along the rolling direction (RD) and transverse direction (TD), the sample’s..... More

Abstract
A superelastic titanium alloy was subjected to uniaxial tensile deformation at room temperature. The microstructural evolution and deformation mechanisms of the superelastic titanium alloy were investigated by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Multiple deformation mechanisms including stress-induced martensitic transformation (SIMT), dislocation slip, {332}<113> and {112}<111> mechanical twinning..... More
