Crystal alignment explains why magnesium alloy plates resist ballistic impacts better in one direction
A study explains why magnesium alloy plates resist ballistic impacts better in one direction due to their crystal structure. The hexagonal close-packed (HCP) nature of magnesium alloys makes deformation highly dependent on crystallographic orientation, providing insights for lighter and more efficient aerospace and defense structures.

Plates impacted along the ND consistently absorbed 6.5%–6.7% more energy and fractured in a symmetric manner upon perforation.
Instead of inventing a new alloy or adding weight, engineers can boost ballistic resistance simply by orienting the plate so that impacts arrive along the…
