Comparison of annealing on microstructure and anisotropy of magnesium alloy AZ31 sheets processed by three different routes.

Highlights: [•] Investigated the influence of different processing routes on the mechanical anisotropy. [•] Compared the effect of annealing on mechanical anisotropy of AZ31 sheets produced by three routes. [•] Annealing treatment could decrease the mechanical anisotropy of the three samples.
