It was shown that a high solidification rate enables the production of magnesium strips with a refined grain structure, which is also characterized by dendritic cells, fine intermetallic particles, increased solid solubility, and the presence of metastable phases. Moreover, the strong basal texture typically observed in magnesium sheets does not form during TRC and further processing by rolling is enabled. Beside the possibility of additional processing by rolling, the strips produced by TRC could be easily processed by other modern techniques incorporating severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods, such as constrained groove pressing (CGP) [18,19] and continuous equal channel angular pressing with Conform (ECAP-Conform) [20]
