Effect of aluminum content on the texture and mechanical behavior of Mg–1 wt% Mn wrought magnesium alloys

The mechanical response of as-extruded magnesium–aluminum–manganese alloy with varying (1–4 wt%) aluminum content has been examined, while the concentration of manganese is kept constant at 1 wt%. Results indicated that microstructure exhibits more uniform and equiaxed grain structure, and gradual decrease of texture intensity with increasing aluminum content. Mechanical testing results revealed...
