This article discusses application of quantitative X-ray texture analysis (QTXA) based on measurement of direct pole figures and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) aimed at study of peculiarities of formation of texture and structure of MA2-1pch magnesium alloy after equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) and subsequent annealing. Shear bands with the width of 60 μm oriented at 45°–50° to the extrusion direction are revealed, where an inclined scattered basis texture is detected, and outside of these bands, a prismatic texture. As a consequence, basic sliding is activated in the shear bands, which is confirmed by the distribution of Schmid factors. The influence of texture and orientation of shear bands on anisotropy of strength mechanical properties of alloy is discussed.
