It is known that the properties of metals and their alloys depend on their microstructure. An important aspect of microstructure study is the ability to predict the properties and the behavior of the material in the process of its exploitation taking into account determined structural changes and their relationship with the material properties. The goal of this work is to study the effect of the magnitude of the plastic deformation on the microstructure of magnesium alloy AE42 test specimens. This paper describes the actions to get test specimens with various magnitude of residual deformation. The microstructure of those test specimens is studied. The gathered results are discussed.
