The effect of Ca and Zn in solid solution on the critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) of basal slip, tensile twinning and pyramidal slip in Mg alloys has been measured through compression tests on single crystal micropillars with different orientations. The solute atoms increased the CRSS for basal slip to similar to 13.5 MPa, while the CRSS for pyramidal slip was lower than 85 MPa, reducing significantly the plastic anisotropy in comparison with pure Mg. Moreover, the CRSSs for twin nucleation and growth were very similar (similar to 37 MPa) and the large value of the CRSS for twin growth hindered the growth of twins during thermo-mechanical processing. Finally, evidence of prismatic slip and cross-slip between basal and prismatic dislocations was found. It is concluded that the reduction of plastic anisotropy, the activation of different slip systems and cross-slip and the weak basal texture promoted by the large CRSS for twin growth are responsible for the improved ductility and formability of Mg-Ca-Zn alloys.
