Nevertheless, those alloys still suffer from anisotropy of mechanical properties. It is generally agreed that besides the dislocation slip, deformation kinking and twinning contribute to the plastic deformation of those alloys. The materials’ parameters (shape and orientation of LPSO phase, grain size, texture) as well as the experimental conditions (loading direction, temperature etc.) are factors on which deformation kinking depends for it to be considered common for Mg/LPSO alloys. The conditions for kink formation in Mg-LPSO alloys and their dependence on temperature, however, are still under consideration. In this present work, a directionally solidified Mg -24 wt.% Y- 12wt.% Zn alloy having a lamellar structure elongated along the solidification direction was investigated. In order to reveal the effect of orientation on deformation behavior, uniaxial compression tests were performed parallel and perpendicular to the LSPO lamellae. Active deformation mechanisms were revealed by combination of two advanced in-situ techniques: acoustic emission and neutron diffraction. Detailed microscopy observations by optical and scanning electron microscopy (including EBSD, BSD imaging and IGMA) were performed for getting information about microstructure changes (e.g. twin and kink formation) with respect to a lamellar structure and crystallographic orientation. Kinking was found to be a dominant deformation mechanism during compression along the lamellar structure, resulting in high yield strength. In the case of loading perpendicular to lamellae, kinking was limited to well oriented lamellae and rather higher activity of the <c+a> dislocation slip was observed. IGMA analysis has shown that all observed kinks in both orientations were found to be of <1-100>-and <1-210>-rotation types. References: [1] Kawamura et al.
