Popis: Mg-Y cast alloy shows excellent ductility (elongation to failure > 15%) compared with pure Mg and commercial Mg cast alloys. By monitoring the microstructure evolution during an in situ tensile test of a Mg-2.5 wt%Y alloy, we identify the activation of prismatic slip, which is rare in Mg. Synchrotron X-ray micro-beam Laue diffraction (μ-Laue) and transmission electron microscopy revealed the morphology of prismatic slip bands and individual dislocations. Density functional theory and molecular dynamics calculations indicate that solute Y can significantly reduce the stacking fault energy (SFE) along direction on prismatic plane in Mg lattice and thus facilitate the nucleation of dislocations during deformation. The presence of free dislocations in the Mg lattice can also lead to nucleation of {10–12} twins even under unfavorable geometric conditions.
