Evaluation of Non-Basal Slip Activity in Rolled Mg–Li Alloys

Tensile tests of rolled Mg–6.2 mol%Li and Mg–11.7 alloys were carried out at room temperature to clarify effects lithium addition on the relationship between mechanical properties activities slip systems. Ductility increased with increasing content. 0.2% proof stress when 6.2 was added. However, showed low stress, compared pure magnesium. On other hand, maximum decreased Frequency non-basal slips Also, first order pyramidal 〈c + a〉 highest frequency among in Mg–Li alloys. Critical resolved shear stresses for slips, which reduced by addition, ductility but tensile strength
