Differential aperture X-ray microscopy (DAXM) was employed in this study to reveal the development of geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) when a Mg-5 wt% Y alloy is subjected to bending. The characters of the GNDs were determined from the streak direction of the diffraction peaks. Five grains were analyzed voxel by voxel for the GND content. Among those voxels with peak streaking, 77% contain basal or non-basal < a > GNDs, while the other 23% contain < c + a > GNDs. Those < c + a > dislocations were nucleated to accommodate local stress concentration. Even though < c + a > dislocations are less mobile, they make important contribution to the high ductility of Mg-Y alloys.
