Abstract

Extruded round bars from magnesium alloys ZM21, ZK30, ZE10 and ZEK100 with various grain sizes were tested in tension and compression. The effect of grain size on the deformation behaviour of the alloys was investigated through the Hall‐Petch relation. In‐situ acoustic emission measurements were conducted during testing to evaluate the mechanisms of plastic deformation. The results are discussed with respect to twinning as one important deformation mechanism in magnesium alloys.
