摘要

The twinning and slipping modes of a rolled AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet were investigated through in situ compressive tests. A method based on scanning electron microscopy and electron backscattered diffraction measurements was used to identify activated twinning and slip systems. {10-12} tensile twins were present, but only occasionally. Contraction twins were not observed. Post deformation examination revealed the dominance of pyramidal < c+a > slip.
