Non-dissociated <c+a> dislocations in an AZ31 alloy revealed by transmission electron microscopy

<c+a> dislocations in pure Mg have been reported to dissociate on basal planes, resulting in a sessile configuration that limits the ductility and formability of Mg. In this study, careful tilting experiments and weak-beam dark-field electron microscopy observations elucidated that <c+a>...
