Magnesium (Mg) alloys exhibit poor ductility and strong anisotropic behavior during plasticdeformation due to their inherent hcp structure, sharp basal texture and activation of few slip systems. Basalslip and deformation twinning are the prominent deformation mechanisms at room temperature. RecentlyMg-Mn alloys have gained some attention for exhibiting excellent elongation-to-failure of 140% [1]. Fromsafety perspective, it is vital to study the fracture behavior of these alloys.
