ZK60 (Mg-Zn-Zr) alloys exhibited a variation in precipitates with aging, and their mechanical properties also changed. Microindentation tests were carried out on two types of ZK60 alloys of solid solution (T4) and peak aging (T6). Microstructure and texture evolution during indentation was investigated using electron backscatter diffraction. Twinning occurred near the indentation marks in most ...

Constitutive equations for the multiaxial stress-strain behavior of aluminum alloy 5754 sheets were developed, based on crystal plasticity. A Taylor-based polycrystal plasticity model, a tangent formulation of the self-consistent viscoplastic model (VPSC), and an N-site viscoplastic model based on the fast Fourier transform (VPFFT) were used to fit a single slip system hardening law to the avai...

In this study, the global texture evolution in a 2 mm gauge hot band of continuous casting AA5052 aluminum alloy, annealed at 449 °C for 4 hours, was investigated. Samples were deformed to three different strain values under a near equi-biaxial stretching condition. Their textures were. The major and minor strains of these samples were measured using an automatic strain analysis system. The tex...

The evolution of texture during different mechanical processes is an integral part Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) metals and alloys. In the present work, PRISMS-Plasticity TM, open-source rapid analysis pipeline, based on Taylor model integrated into crystal plasticity software, PRISMS-Plasticity. However, unlike PRISMS-Plasticity, pipeline does not involve any finite ele...
