Rolled Mg-Zn-Rare earth sheet after annealing was deformed at room temperature with the tensile axis oriented in both the rolling (RD) and the transversal direction (TD). The deformation behavior of the sheet has been investigated by acoustic emission (AE) and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) measurements, where the AE signal analysis correlates the microstructure and the stress-strain curves to the active deformation mechanisms.
X-ray diffraction was applied to receive orientation images in order to characterize the deformation texture before and after the test.
