Abstract Magnesium (Mg) and its composites have been widely used in different fields, but the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of polycrystalline Mg (polyMg) at the atomic scale are poorly understood. In this paper, the effects of grain size, temperature, and strain rate on the tensile properties of polyMg are explored and discussed by the Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method. The calculated results showed that there exists a critical grain size of 10 nm for the mechanical properties of polyMg. The flow stress decreases with the increase of grain size if the average grain size is… More >
