Ternary Mg–Zn–Y alloy sheets with several volume fractions of a Mg
12ZnY phase were prepared by hot-rolling at 623 K. Volume fraction of the Mg
12ZnY phase was increased with increasing of Zn and Y contents in the Mg
100–x–yZn
xY
y (x=1~6, y=2~9 at%) alloys, and achieved more than 85% in an Mg
85Zn
6Y
9 alloy. (002) pole figures showed both of basal planes of the Mg
12ZnY- and Mg phases have a tendency to orient the plane of the sheet by hot-rolling. However, it was considered that the formation of a basal texture of the Mg
12ZnY phase is difficult compared with the Mg phase, due to introduce a kink deformation. An Mg
90.5Zn
3.25Y
6.25 alloy sheet exhibited a 0.2% proof strength, an ultimate tensile strength, and an elongation of 353 MPa, 400 MPa, and 5%, respectively, at room temperature, and 279 MPa, 375 MPa, and 12%, respectively, at 523 K. Although elongation was slightly limited compared with commercial magnesium sheets, the Mg
90.5Zn
3.25Y
6.25 alloy sheet exhibited high strength over a wide temperature range compared to commercial magnesium alloys.
