Abstract
Friction-stir processing (FSP) induces significant texture variations in magnesium alloys. Diffraction peak intensities measured using spatially-resolved neutron-diffraction scanning provide the quantitative changes in the texture across the processing line. The relationship between the texture distribution and the tensile behavior of a FSP AZ31B Mg alloy is discussed.
