Texture and stretch formability of Mg-1.5 mass%Zn-0.2 mass%Ce alloy rolled at different rolling temperatures were investigated. The Mg-Zn-Ce alloy rolled at 723 K and annealed at 623 K tended to produce a TD-split texture. The TD-split texture contributed to the low average r-value and high tensile elongation, resulting in the significant high stretch formability corresponding to the commercial Al alloys.
