The texture evolution of an as-extruded ZK60 Mg alloy with different tensile strains has been determined by X-ray diffraction technique. As strain increases, {0002} basal plane of most grains gradually inclines to the tensile direction, which is more pronounced for TD sample. This firmly suggests that the mechanical anisotropy and the difference of deformation modes between ED and TD samples are not only caused by initial basal texture, but also by the developed texture during the tensile test.
