Crystal plasticity based modeling of grain boundary sliding in magnesium alloy AZ31B sheet

The aim of present work is to develop a crystal plasticity modeling approach to integrate slip, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and grain boundary sliding (GBS) for simulating the deformation behavior and texture evolution of magnesium alloys at high temperatures. Firstly, the deformation mechanisms of an AZ31B Mg alloy sheet at 300 °C were investigated by examining texture and microstructure evolution during uniaxial tension and compression...
