The influences of Sr on the microstructure, texture and mechanical properties including flow and anisotropy behavior of AZ31 alloys are investigated. Slabs containing no, 0.4 and 0.8 wt% of strontium were cast and subjected to hot rolling. Results indicate that Sr reduces the basal texture intensity...
