Abstract The orientation of basal precipitates in AZ80 Mg alloy is altered by coupling twinning, aging and detwinning processes. This gives the prismatic precipitates with their broad plane parallel to one of the 10 1 ¯ 0 α . Such prismatic precipitates significantly improve the compressive and tensile strength of AZ80 Mg alloy compared to the basal precipitates. This paper provides a new way to regulate precipitate orientation and hence its hardening response in Mg alloys.
