Deformation and Recrystallization Behaviors in Magnesium Alloys

Recrystallization textures and microstructures of Al-0.3%Cu alloy after deformation to high strains

An Al-0.3%Cu alloy was deformed to high strains by cold rolling. The as-deformed samples were annealed at different temperatures until complete recrystallization. The cold rolling textures were determined by X-ray diffraction while the recrystallization textures and microstructures were characterized by electron backscatter diffraction. It was found that the rolling texture was characterized by...

Deformation banding and its influence on deformation textures formation

It is shown by a crystallographic etching technique that deformation banding is an important deformation mode in copper. In a cold rolled coarse grain copper, deformation banding forms in a three dimensional manner dividing grains into a large number of bands of different orientations. The influence of this important, but long ignored deformation mode, is studied by incorporating it into the Ta...

The influence of microchemistry on the recrystallization texture of cold-rolled Al-Mn-Fe-Si alloys

The recrystallization textures of a cold-rolled Al-Mn-Fe-Si model alloy with three different microchemistry states after non-isothermal annealing were studied. The microstructure and texture evolution have been characterized by EBSD. It is clearly demonstrated that the actual microchemistry state as determined by the homogenization procedure strongly influence the recrystallized grain size and ...

Characterization and influence of deformation microstructure heterogeneity on recrystallization

The microstructure resulting from plastic deformation of metals typically contains heterogeneity on several length scales. This is also true for samples deformed to large strains, where an important form of heterogeneity is in the variation in microstructural refinement by high angle boundaries. A methodology for quantifying this type of heterogeneity based on the identification of areas classi...
