Two Mg alloys containing 0.03Â at% and 0.18Â at% Nd were designed to investigate the effects of solute concentration, and thermomechanical processing on the strengths of related deformation modes. Annealing treatments were conducted to stimulate grain coarsening for as-extruded alloys. In view of solute concentration effect, we conducted compressive tests and microstructure characterization to reveal and analyze the activities of the related deformation modes and their corresponding strengths. We find that the solute concentration of Nd does not affect the nucleation CRSS for {10-12} twinning. However, with the increase of Nd concentration, the nucleation CRSS for pyramidal
