Abstract

Nanoindentation creep and uniaxial tension were conducted on pure Mg with a grain size of about 2 μm at room temperature and the data were directly compared. Despite the differences in stress state, the two sets of data were found to match remarkably well with each other. An apparent stress exponent value of 4 was obtained and the deformation mechanism was discussed in light of dislocation slips and twinning in anisotropic Mg.
