Microstructure and Texture Evolution in Cladded Al 3003 Aluminum Sheets

Abstract:

In the present research, the texture variation during cold rolling of cladded 3003 type aluminium sheets was examined by means of X-ray diffraction. The aluminum sheets were formed in a series of 14 rolling steps, after which texture examinations were performed on both cladded and base material sides of the sheets. After certain rolling steps, the texture was also examined by removing layers from the sheets by electropolishing to reveal the texture distribution along depth. The texture was characterised through the calculation of volume fractions of the main rolled texture components. Local drawbacks were found in the texture versus thickness reduction function. The texture was found to be higher in the middle of the sheets than at the surface.
