Abstract
In this study, we investigated the detwinning phenomenon of in-plane compressed E-form magnesium (Mg) alloy sheet systematically using in situ tensile test combined with electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD ) technique. Microstructure and microtexture evolutions were analyzed at different tensile strains during the in situ tensile test . The detwinning phenomenon in E-form Mg alloy was found to be linked to both twin boundary mobility and the interaction of their boundaries with dislocations. The pre-compressed sheet of E-form Mg alloy effectively accommodated the thickness direction strains generated during the in situ tensile test . The effect of detwinning on formability and mechanical behavior of the E-form Mg alloy was also examined. EBSD results indicate that most of the deformation twins formed during in-plane compression were removed when the load is reversed during the in situ tensile test .
