Effect of Alternating Bending on Texture, Structure, and Elastic Properties of Sheets of Magnesium Lithium Alloy

Figure 2

Experimental incomplete direct pole figures of alloy Mg-5% Li (mass): (a) initial state; (b–i) after alternating bending using different number of cycles: (b, c) 0.5, (d, e) 1.0, (f, g) 3.0, and (h, i) 5.0, cycles. (c, d, g, i) Correspond to the stretched side of the sheet; (b, e, f, h) correspond to the compressed side.
