Abstract

The influence of the LPSO (long-period stacking ordered) phase orientation and the microstructure of the magnesium matrix on the deformation mechanisms of Mg–Zn–Y magnesium alloy has been investigated by diffraction methods and acoustic emission (AE) measurements. The adaptive sequential k-means analysis (ASK) method, offering identification of the dominant deformation process (basal, non-basal slip, twinning, kinking) in a given time period, has been used for AE data evaluation. The results indicate that the kinking mechanism, twinning and activation of non-basal slip exhibit a significant dependence on the initial texture and the orientation of the LPSO phase with respect to the loading axis.
