The crystallographic orientations are generally non-random in wrought Mg alloy, which will lead to their macroscopic physical properties to be anisotropic. Understanding the texture evolution in processing of Mg alloy billets and its effect on mechanical properties is therefore an important project for all scientists and engineers in material area. This paper is concerned with the description of texture, with the mechanisms of texture evolution and with the interrelationships between texture and mechanical properties in Mg alloy. It is a full review of understanding of the basic mechanism on texture evolution, of texture altering by alloying or processing, and of the mechanism of texture weakening. Moreover, it provides theories necessary and available techniques to develop high-performance Mg wrought with optimized texture in the field.
