Anisotropy, tension-compression asymmetry and texture evolution of a rare-earth-containing magnesium alloy sheet, ZEK100, at different strain rates and temperatures: Experiments and modeling

The mechanical response and texture evolution of rare-earth-containing magnesium alloy sheet, ZEK100, are measured under uniaxial (tension and compression) loading along the rolling direction (RD), 45° to rolling direction (DD), transverse direction (TD) and normal direction (ND), at the strain rate of 10−4 to 3 × 103 s−1, and temperatures of 22 °C & 150 °C. Texture evolution is measured at strain increments between 2 and 10% in compression and...
