Abstract

The paper addresses the relationship between microstructure, texture, and mechanical properties of rolled magnesium sheets. The effect of rolling temperature and alloying elements on texture development and mechanical properties is demonstrated. Special focus is paid to the potential of rare earth elements to modify the anisotropic behavior and to weaken the strong basal texture of magnesium sheets. Alloy design that considers these possibilities together with appropriate selection of process parameters show the road to magnesium sheets with improved forming properties.
