To analyze the effect of initial orientation in activity twinning and texture development, magnesium single crystals were rolled at 400 °C (nominal furnace temperature) two specific orientations. In both orientations, rolling direction sheet (RD) was parallel to c-axis. For 1, 112¯0 normal (ND), for 2, it 101¯0 direction. The samples 30%, 50% 80% thickness reduction. After rolling, all quenched...
