A newly developed magnesium sheet alloy, Mg-1.1Al-03Ca-0.2Mn-0.3Zn (at.%), shows a large Index Erichsen value of 7.7 mm in a solution treated (T4) condition due to a weak basal texture developed by the trace addition of Zn. Subsequent artificial aging at 200 degrees C for 1 h (T6) significantly increases the 0.2% proof strength from 144 MPa to 204 MPa. This improvement in strength by the T6 treatment is associated with a dense distribution of monoatomic layer Guinier-Preston zones on the basal planes of the Mg matrix. (C) 2017 Acta Materialia Inc.
