The effect of grain size on the formation of deformation twins in AZ31 alloy

Compression tests along the rolling and normal direction of AZ31B plate materials under 10 s strain rate were performed at room temperature to understand the effect of grain size on the formation of deformation twins. When compressed along the rolling direction, tension twins were formed in bands. Within the twin bands, nearly all grains contained tension twins, irrespective of grain size. And outside the bands, no twin was found. Under this deformation condition, grain size has no effect on the formation of tension twins. The reason for this is due to the fact that the formation of a tension twin can trigger the formation of tension twin in the neighboring grain, irrespective of the neighboring grain size.
When compressed along the normal direction, no twin band was formed, and compression twins were formed evenly in the specimens. Under this deformation condition, it was found that the larger the grain size, the higher the fraction of grains which contained compression twins. This result indicates that compression twins are easier to be formed in the large grains.
