Summary A semianalytical Sachs-type equation for the flow stress of magnesium-base alloys is developed using the Schmid law, power law hardening, and a sigmoidal increase in the twinning volume fraction with strain. Average Schmid factors were estimated from electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) data. With these, the equation provides a reasonable description of the flow curves obtained in compression and tension for samples of Mg-3Al-1Zn cut in different orientations from rolled plate. The model illustrates the general importance of basal slip and twinning in magnesium alloys. The significance of prismatic slip in room temperature tension testing is also highlighted. This is supported with EBSD slip line trace analysis and rationalized in terms of a possible sensitivity of the critical resolved shear stress for prismatic (cross) slip to the stress on the basal plane.
