Effects of multi-directional forging on texture and hardness in A5052 aluminum alloy

The effect of multi-directional forging on the development texture and increase hardness was investigated for a commercial A5052 aluminum alloy, which had an initial with major orientation ｛001｝<100>. Two specimens were prepared: one obtained via (MDF) performed four times at true strain 0.18 each forging, while other prepared unidirectional (UDF) time 0.72. MDF UDF same 0.72 exhibited tendencies in terms hardness, grain diameter, Kernel average misorientation (KAM) value. specimen after undergoing deformation minor orientations ｛011｝<100> ｛011｝<110>, respectively. formation can be explained using Sachs model, slip systems maximum resolved shear stress are activated during MDF. Furthermore, it concluded that ｛011｝<110> underwent caused by appearance ｛001｝<110> performing three times.
