The deformation behavior of a coarse grained AZ31 alloy during hot rolling was investigated. The basal texture originates from the {10–12} twins at the initial stage of rolling. During subsequent deformation, the grains with the
c-axis parallel to compression stress are insensitive to dynamic recrystallization. This is considered to be the main reason for the progressive strengthening of the basal texture.
