Strongly textured Mg–3Al–1Zn (wt%) alloy samples with a high density of twins cut from three directions were used to investigate the effect of crystallographic orientation on dynamic recrystallization (DRX). The samples were deformed under a high strain rate at 300°C. The high strain rate allows rap...
