| Abstract Scope |
The effect of 5.2 wt.% Li in solid solution on the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) values of various deformation modes in Mg has been explored through compression tests on single crystal micropillars. Li hardens <a> basal slip (CRSS: 30.2 MPa) but significantly softens <a> prismatic slip (29.0 MPa). Li also hardens <c + a> pyramidal slip (168.1 MPa) but significantly reduces the CRSS ratio between <c + a> pyramidal slip and <a> basal slip from 17.1 to 5.6. The CRSSs for the nucleation and growth of extension twins are increased by Li addition (98.6 MPa and 71.8 MPa), whilst their ratios to <a> basal slip did not change. As a result, plastic anisotropy is reduced by the presence of the soft <a> prismatic slip as well as by easier activation of <c + a> pyramidal slip and cross-slip, leading to the high ductility and improved formability of Mg-Li alloys. |
