Twinning-induced plasticity plays a critical role in determining the deformation behaviors of hexagonal close-packed metals (eg, Mg and Ti), due to the lack of five independent slip systems required for a general deformation. In particular, twinning modes that can accommodate c-axis strain (tensile or compressive) are especially important, which are necessary complementary deformation modes to< a>-type dislocations. However, only limited types of extension twins, eg,{10 1¯ 2} type twin, have been unambiguously identified in the literature, which is theoretically inadequate to accommodate a complex deformation with c-axis extension. Using topological defect theory, here we show that another extension twinning mode,{11 2¯ 6} twin, can be formed through reactions between disclinations and {10 1¯ 2} twins in Mg-alloys. Based on symmetry of the deformation space, we demonstrate that the {11 2¯ 6} twin originates from the inter-connection of correlated deformation paths, which can provide a tensile strain of 5.2% along c-axis and a compressive strain of 4.5% along< 11 2¯ 0>.{11 2¯ 6} twins can be formed through three formation mechanisms, ie, direct formation, twin-twin intersection, and double twinning, which are validated by a combination of experimental characterizations and phase field simulations. Our work not only suggests a symmetry-based method to analyze twinning-induced plasticity, but also provides a new insight into the deformation mechanisms and mechanical properties of Mg-alloys.
