Abstract

In this study, tensile tests of rolled Mg-Li alloy and Mg-Ce alloy sheets were carried out at room temperature to investigate effects of alloying additions on the relationship between mechanical properties and activities of slip systems in magnesium polycrystals. In Mg-Li alloy, ductility increased while strength decreased by lithium addition. Frequency of non-basal slips increased with increasing lithium content. In Mg-Ce alloy, strength and ductility were similar pure magnesium, and non-basal slips were hardly activated. Since critical resolved shear stress of non-basal slips were decreased by lithium addition, ductility of magnesium was increased while its strength was decreased.
