The influence of alloying elements, mainly rare-earth metals and lithium, on the slip and twinning mechanisms and the crystallographic textures of the magnesium-based alloys is reviewed. Micromechanical models of the deformation behavior of the textured magnesium alloys, which take into account a real deformation mechanism and texture, are presented.
