The texture evolution in four MgZnCe alloys was compared to that of Mg3Al1Zn (AZ31) alloy following rolling and subsequent isothermal annealing. All the as-cast and homogenized alloys were rolled through two stages that can be characterized as rough rolling and finish rolling, respectively. To i...
