Influence of Grain Size and Texture on the Yield Strength of Mg Alloys Processed by Severe Plastic Deformation

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) has been widely employed to refine the grain size of Mg alloys, with the main objective to improve the strength and ductility of Mg alloys, since the well-known Hall-Petch equation suggests that a decreased grain size leads to an increased yield strength. However, th...
