Abstract

Deformation behavior of an 18R-type long period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase in the Mg-Zn-Y system was studied by micro-pillar compressions of single crystalline specimens prepared by focused ion beam (FIB) technique as a function of loading axis orientation and specimen dimensions. When the loading axis is inclined to the basal plane of the LPSO phase by 42°, basal slip of (0001)<11 $\bar 2$ 0>-type is activated irrespective of the specimen dimensions. When the loading axis is parallel to the basal plane, the formation of thick deformation bands are observed for all specimens tested. Strong size-dependence of yield stress values is observed for both types of micro-pillar specimens with different loading axis orientations.
