Thermomechanical treatment consisting of pre-compression and a subsequent isothermal aging was used to improve the compressive properties of extruded Mg-Zn-Ca (ZX10) alloy. Isothermal aging at 150 °C and 200 °C was performed on as-extruded samples for various times to find peak aged conditions. To achieve a different twin volume fraction in the alloy, samples were pre-compressed up to 2%, 3% and 4%...
