Notes:
In order to improve the formability of magnesium alloys at low temperatures, a thoroughunderstanding of the twinning behaviour is required. Cylindrical samples were compressed uniaxiallyfrom room temperature to 250oC, with the compression axis parallel to the transverse direction (TD)of a hot-rolled Mg-3Al-1Zn sheet. Twinning was investigated by use of orientation maps constructedfrom electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) data. Tensile twinning was observed at alltemperatures. In some grains two twin variants were observed. For each twin the specific twinningvariant among the 6 possible twinning systems was identified by consideration of the twinningrotation. The twinning was then investigated by comparing the specific twin variant with thecalculated Schmid factors for all 6 possible twin variants. In cases of grains that are completelyreoriented by two twin variants it is possible to back-calculate the initial grain orientation byconsidering all possible twin rotations for both of the twin variants. It was found that the operativetwin variants where those with the highest Schmid factors
