TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on understanding the mechanisms for ductility improvement by microstructure analysis, texture analysis and slip trace analysis based on electron backscatter diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.

TL;DR: In this article, the intrinsic stacking fault I1 energy (I1 SFE) was investigated by transmission electron microscopy and density functional theory, and the influence of the SFE on the relative activation of different competing deformation mechanisms (basal, prismatic, pyramidal slip) was discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, single additions of the rare earth (RE) elements cerium, yttrium or neodymium have been made to magnesium-manganese alloys in order to investigate their influence on the microstructure and texture formed during indirect extrusion and the resulting mechanical properties.

TL;DR: In this article, the anisotropic mechanical behavior of extruded AZ31 magnesium alloy is described in relation to the crystallographic texture, and the correlation between the initial texture, the mechanical anisotropy and the activation of different deformation modes is interpreted using the in situ texture measurements and viscoplastic self-consistent simulation results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the initial microstructure on the deep drawability and the associated microstructural evolution in two different magnesium alloy sheets, AZ31 and ZE10, has been examined.
