%X Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) of the in situ Mg2Si reinforced Mg composite was performed with route Bc up to 8 passes using a 90° die. Refinement and re-distribution of the reinforced phase Mg2Si was investigated. Bulk texture development during ECAP was characterized by neutron radiation. Results showed that only the eutectic Mg2Si (Type-II) was proposed to be effective for preparing the in situ Mg2Si/Mg composite. Neutrons texture analysis briefly illustrated that a left angle bracket00.2right-pointing angle bracket basal fiber with the obtainment of less shear effect was formed. But the asymmetry of basal fiber around the ECAP direction was also observed. Both uniform texture and homogeneity distribution of Mg2Si particles played an important role in the tensile behavior of ECAPed composite.
