Geometrically Necessary Dislocation Analysis of Deformation Mechanism for Magnesium under Fatigue Loading at 0 °C

This study focused on the analysis of geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) densities for five selected fine-grained magnesium samples. Among the samples, three were tested under different fatigue-loading conditions at 0 °C, one experienced quasi-static tensile loading at 0 °C, and one represent...

description This study focused on the analysis of geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) densities for five selected fine-grained magnesium samples. Among the samples, three were tested under different fatigue-loading conditions at 0 °C, one experienced quasi-static tensile loading at 0 °C, and one represented the as-rolled state. The fatigue-tested samples were chosen according to the relationship between the maximum loading stress of a test and the material’s yield strength. This study provides new insights on the deformation mechanism of fine-grained magnesium at 0 °C. It is observed that the average GND densities were increased by 95~111% for the tested samples when compared with the as-rolled sample. It is especially interesting that there is a significant increase in the average GND density for the sample that experienced the fatigue loading with a low-maximum applied stress, and the maximum applied stress was lower than the material’s yield strength. This observation implies that the grain boundary mediated the dislocation-emission mechanism.
