Local Plastic-Strain Heterogeneities and Their Impact on the Ductility of Mg
Résumé
Microscale plastic strain heterogeneity can arise in polycrystalline Mg and its alloys in a variety of different ways. In this article, we illustrate how microscale digital image correction based on scanning electron microscope images can reveal this plastic heterogeneity in commercially pure polycrystalline Mg and how such observations provide insight into plasticity, damage, and ductility
