Effect of extrusion temperature on texture evolution and recrystallization in extruded Mg-1% Mn and Mg-1% Mn-1.6%Sr alloys

► Mg-1% Mn (M1) and M1-1.6% Sr (M1-1.6Sr) alloys were extruded at 300, 350 and 400 °C. ► Extrusion at 300 °C develops weaker texture in alloy M1 whereas extrusion at 350 and 400 °C gives basal fiber texture in M1. ► Sr addition to alloy M1 results in randomization of texture due to particle stimulated nucleation (PSN) at all extrusion temperatures.
