Abstract
Precipitation hardening is an effective way to strengthen Mg alloys as precipitates can reduce the mobility of dislocations. Previous investigations suggest that pyramidal < c+a > dislocations can only bypass precipitates. Here we provide solid atomic resolution evidence that < c+a > dislocations can shear through plate precipitates, leaving behind shear trace lines. The possible shearing process was analyzed based on crystallographic orientation relationship between precipitates and the Mg matrix.
