Texture weakening is generally adopted as one of the prominent methods to improve the ductility of Mg alloys. In this work, we designed and fabricated the Mg-1Zn-1Sn-0.3Y-0.2Ca (wt. % ZTWX1100) alloy with a novel basal-random heterogeneous (BRH) texture by precisely controlled high-reduction rolling...
