Abstract: The cold rolling texture evolution as a function of strain path in pure titanium with initial typical recrystallized texture has been studied using viscoplastic self-consistent simulations. Three different strain paths, namely unidirectional rolling, two-step cross rolling and multi-step cross rolling have been employed to investigate the effect of strain path change on the evolution of deformation texture. The simulation results indicate that the activation of predominant prismatic slip in unidirectional rolling sample results in the formation of commonly cold rolling fiber texture RD//<10-10> in pure titanium, whereas the increased activity of basal slip over that of prismatic slip is responsible for the strong ND//<hkil> fiber texture in the two cross rolled samples.

Abstract: The cube texture evolution during annealing of the heavy cold-rolled Cu-45at.%Ni alloy tapes were investigated by XRD and electron back scattering diffraction techniques. The results indicated that the fraction of Copper-type rolling texture was slightly strengthened during recovery, and then strongly reduced during recrystallization. The cube texture was formed by consuming the rolling texture components during recrystallization process, and the S, Copper and Brass orientations were consumed together via cube grain growth. A strong cube-textured Cu-45at.%Ni alloy substrate with the cube texture fraction of 98.6 % (< 10°) was obtained after annealing at 1000 oC for 1 h.

Abstract: The cold-rolling texture of fcc sheet metals with medium to high stacking fault energies is known to consist of the brass {011}<211>, Cu {112}<111>, Goss {011}<100>, S {123}<634>, and cube {100}<001> components. The recrystallization (Rex) texture of cold-rolled Al, Cu and their alloy sheets is well known to be the cube texture. The 40°<111> orientation relationship between the S and cube components, which has been taken as a proof of the oriented growth theory, has made one believe that the S orientation is responsible for the cube Rex texture. The oriented growth theory is claimed to be associated with grain boundary mobility anisotropy. However, some data indicate the Cu component is linked with the cube component. There is no 40°<111> orientation relationship between the Cu and cube components. The strain-energy-release-maximization model (SERM), in which the strain energy due to dislocations is importantly taken into account, suggests that the Cu and S components in the rolling texture are linked with the cube and ~{031}<100> components in the Rex texture, respectively.

Abstract: Rolling texture evolution of pure nickel, and nickel – cobalt alloys containing 20wt.%, 40wt.%, 60wt.% cobalt content has been studied to very large true strain (ε ~ 4). The texture evolution in pure nickel and Ni-20Co was very similar, and resulted in typical Cu-type rolling texture. Microstructural analyses showed that the deformation was mostly slip dominated up to 95% beyond which it shear bands. Deformation twinning was a major deformation mechanism up to 50% reduction, and at higher strains, microstructure showed extensive shear banding. The evolution of final Goss texture in low SFE Ni-Co alloys could be explained based on the twin fraction and shear band volumes which showed grains preferably oriented towards Goss.

Abstract: T.M.C.P.(Thermo Mechanical Control Processing) has been widely used to improveplastic formability in steel strips. We have produced interstitial free steel(IF steel) strips and ferriticstainless-steel strips through T.M.C.P. rolling method. Optimizing conditions of hot rolling, hotrolled annealing, cold rolling and cold rolled annealing, we developed texture prediction model. Wecan predict rolling texture accurately using the conventional Taylor model. Moreover, we preciselypredict recrystallization texture classifying the total number of microscopic􀀁 slips which arecalculated using the Taylor model. We consider that these calculated results provednucleation-oriented model and two types of recrystallization and grain growth mechanisms exit inour studies. One mechanism is that grains which had the small total number of microscopic slips arepreferred orientation for the hot rolled and annealed ferritic stainless-steel strip. The othermechanism is that grains which had the high total number of microscopic slips are preferredorientation for the cold rolled and annealed IF steel strip.

Abstract: The factors affecting pipeline fractures are reviewed briefly, with particular emphasis on the influence of the {100} texture component. The deformation texture components introduced by rolling in the austenite temperature range are introduced, together with the component changes associated with recrystallization. The effect of the γ-to-α phase transformation on the austenite deformation and recrystallization texture components is described. The changes to the texture brought about by rolling in the ferrite (or in the intercritical) phase field are also outlined. The controlled rolling parameters that promote minimization of the texture intensity of the deleterious {100} component are summarized.

Abstract: Typical modes of the microstress distribution were found by X-ray study of Ti-Ni rolled single crystals using the X-ray method of Generalized Pole Figures. The method consists in successive measurements of the peak position 2θ for the same X-ray line of B2 phase by all possible positions of the sample in the course of diffractometric study of its texture. In the case of one-component rolling texture maxima in pole figure break into halves with opposite signs of elastic deformation, whereas by two-component rolling textures the one-sign elastic strain dominates within different maxima.

Abstract: The texture of rolled sheets is known to vary with depth from the surface to the center due to inhomogeneous deformation, which can be caused by a characteristic deformation zone geometry and friction between materials and rolls during rolling. In order to study the deformation and recrystallization (Rex) textures of the surface layers of Al and Cu sheets cold rolled without lubrication, 5 Al sheets were stacked and rolled by 88% and 4 Cu sheets were stacked and rolled by 93% in 4 passes at room temperature. The surface layers separated from the rolled sheets were annealed for 1 h at 500 °C for Al and at 550 °C for Cu. The deformation textures of the surface layers were characterized by different shear textures, which gave rise to very different Rex textures.

Abstract: Cu-0.2wt%Cr-0.5wt%Zr-0.1wt%RE(La) was prepared by casting, quenching, rolling and aging. The microstructure was studied by electron microscope and the texture components were studied by electron backscattered diffraction. In the cast alloy, pure chromium distributed near the grain boundary as a strip shaped and Cu5Zr phase distributed in the interior of grain as a shape of granules. The texture components of the rolled plate include {110} and {112}. With the rolling ratio increased, {112} texture component became the primary rolling texture component. The strengthening effect was attributed to the refinement of the grain size. The electron conductivity was mainly affected by the misorientation of the grain size with a high rolling ratio.

Abstract: Single crystals of the alloy Ti-48%Ni-2%Fe, consisting of the phase B2, were rolled at 350°C with deformation degrees up to ~80% in 11 different initial orientations. Texture development in single crystals under rolling was analyzed to determine the active mechanisms of their plastic deformation. There are three stable initial orientations, which remain unchanged during rolling of Ti-Ni single crystals: {011}<011>, {111}<011> and {111}<112>. It was shown, that Ti-Ni single crystals deform by means of combined action of slip in systems {011}<001> and twinning in systems {114}<221> and {118}<441>. Variants of rolling texture formation in single crystals are very diverse and depend on their initial orientations and deformation degrees.
