Abstract

ABSTRACT Recent studies proved that the faceting of twin boundaries is a common feature in hcp materials. It was demonstrated that the asymmetrical facets in the most frequent and twin interfaces are the consequence of the twin boundary migration mechanism. We demonstrate that a similar mechanism is also applicable to less common twins, observed in pure magnesium rolled at room temperature. The migration of twin boundary is mediated by disconnections, which have Burgers vector and step height equal to four interplanar distances. The mechanism of asymmetrical facets nucleation is also demonstrated by using atomistic simulations. The simulations are supported by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of asymmetrical basal-pyramidal interfaces of twins.
