Summary The present work is concerned with gaining a better understanding of the factors that control the ductility of wrought magnesium alloys. The ultimate aim is to develop alloys with vastly improved room temperature formability. It is shown that 3D tomography of fractured tensile specimens reveals disk shaped voids aligned more or less at 45 deg. to the tensile axis. These voids are consistent with twin induced void formation. It is also shown that the double twins that produce such voids form in contradiction to Schmid predictions. Finally, it is demonstrated that low levels of rare-earth additions leads to vastly improved texture and ductility in extrusions, as they do in rolled sheet.
