abstract = {Magnesium (Mg) alloys typically exhibit anisotropic
mechanical behaviors due to their hexagonal close-packed
(hcp) crystal structures,often leading to
tension-compression asymmetries. Understanding of the
asymmetrical and related deformation mechanisms is crucial
fortheir structural applications, particularly in the
lightweight transportation industries. Nevertheless, the
underlying deformation mechanisms(e.g., slip versus
twinning) at each deformation stage during tension and
compression have not been fully understood. In this study,
weemployed tensile and compressive tests on extruded Al and
Mn containing Mg alloy, i.e., an AM alloy
Mg-0.6Mn-0.5Al-0.5Zn-0.4Ca, duringthe synchrotron X-ray
diffraction. Our results show that distinct deformation
behaviors and mechanisms in tension and compression
areassociated with the strong texture in the extruded
samples: (i) The tensile deformation is dominated by
dislocation slips, with activation ofnon-basal 〈a〉 and
〈c + a〉 slip, but deformation twinning is suppressed.
(ii) The compressive deformation shows early-stage tensile
twinning,followed by dislocation slips. Twinning induces
grain reorientation, leading to significant lattice strain
evolution aligned with the texture.The pronounced
tension-compression asymmetry is attributed to the favorable
shear stress direction formed in the twinning system
duringcompression, which facilitates the activation of
tensile twins. During tension, the strain hardening rate
(SHR) drops significantly after yieldingdue to limited
activated slip systems. In contrast, the samples under
compression exhibit significant increases in SHR after
yielding. Duringcompression, dislocation multiplication
dominates the initial strain hardening, while twinning
progressively contributes more significantlythan dislocation
slip at higher strains. This study improves our
understanding of the tension-compression and strain
hardening asymmetriesin extruded AM Mg alloys.},
