Serration flow is first observed in a fine-grained Mg-0.8 wt pct Ca alloy throughout the deformation history. Strain rate sensitivity (SRS) is sensitive with the deformation temperatures. A positive SRS in combination with a type of downward serration is found at low temperatures, which is mostly attributed to the strong dislocation–dislocation interaction. However, at high temperatures, another upward serration is observed and the SRS is changed to negative as a result of the solute pinning dislocation.
