Magnesium-6 wt.% aluminum (Mg-6Al) alloy plates with a 6-millimeter thickness were processed from an initial 12-millimeter thickness by differential speed rolling (DSR), with a 0.76-millimeter thickness reduction per pass using a speed ratio of 2, preheating temperature of 315 °C, and roll temperature of 265 °C. The effects of annealing temperature of 250, 275, and 300 °C with a corresponding holding time of 15 min on the microstructure, texture, and mechanical properties were investigated. Key results show that dynamic recrystallization (DRX) occurred during the roll processing, resulting in a greatly reduced grain size. In addition, the basal pole of the as-rolled plate was inclined to the rolling direction (RD) by ~20°, due to the shear strain introduced during DSR. Subsequent annealing caused grain growth, eliminated the basal pole inclination towards the RD, and slightly increased the pole intensity. Compared with the as-rolled plate, the average of the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and the yield strength (YS) of the annealed plates decreased, while the average elongation at fracture (εf) increased. With the annealing temperature of 275 °C, the plate achieved a good combination of mechanical properties with UTS, YS, and εf being 292.1 MPa, 185.0 MPa, and 24.9%, respectively. These results suggest that post-roll annealing is an effective way to improve the mechanical response of this Mg alloy processed by DSR.
