Materials with a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) crystal structure such as Mg, Ti and Zr are being used in the transportation, aerospace and nuclear industry, respectively. Material strength and ...

Hexagonal close packing is one of two crystal structures that derive from stacking close-packed-planes of hard sphere atoms. In the HCP structure only two stacking ...

The hexagonal wurtzite structure has the sulphur ions in an hcp array and one-half of the tetrahedral sites in this structure are occupied by zinc ions. The crystal has a basal lattice parameter, a = ...

The strength and formability trade-off is widely existed in metallic materials, more evident HCP crystal structured materials. Grain size has been recognised as a critical factor influencing nearly ...
