Impact of Rolling Reduction on the Microstructural Evolution and Mechanical Behavior of Mg-1Gd Alloy

Key Points

• Enhanced mechanical behavior observed in the Mg-1Gd alloy after rolling reduction, improving both strength and ductility.
• Significant changes in microstructure were documented, including grain refinement and texture evolution, resulting from the processing method.
• Observational analysis across various deformation mechanisms contributed to understanding the alloy's response to rolling reduction under specific conditions.
• Potential manufacturing benefits may arise from optimizing rolling reduction parameters, emphasizing the need for further exploration of alloy properties.
