Multi-pass caliber rolling has proven its vast potential for ultrafine-scale grain refinement and mass production of various metals. Nevertheless, the studies related to Mg alloys have primarily focused only on a few commercial materials, such as AZ31 and ZK60 Mg alloys. This is the first study to investigate caliber-rolled Mg-1Sn (TM10) and Mg-1Sn-1Mn (TM11) alloys. Specifically, this work aims to elucidate the microstructural characteristics of these alloys, including grain refinement, recrystallization, and texture development. Such features were discussed from the viewpoints of alloying effects (i.e., Sn and Mn) and mechanical effects (i.e., caliber-rolling strains). The combination of the addition of Mn and high-redundant strain results in effective grain refinement of the caliber-rolled TM11 Mg alloys. In addition, both TM10 and TM11 Mg alloys exhibit a unique split basal texture, wherein the basal poles are tilted in the plane normal to the rolling direction.
