Tailoring the Texture and Mechanical Anisotropy of Multi-cross Rolled Mg–Zn–Gd Alloy by Annealing

Development of a strong Goss texture during annealing of a heavily rolled Al–0.3% Cu alloy

The evolution of microstructure and texture during isochronal annealing of a heavily cold rolled Al–0.3% Cu alloy has been characterized using electron backscatter diffraction. It is found that the rolling texture of this alloy is dominated by the Brass component and that recrystallization during annealing leads to the formation of a pronounced Goss texture. It is suggested that the development...

EFFECT OF FINISH ROLLING TEMPERATURE ON MICROSTRUCTURE,TEXTURE AND PLANAR ANISOTROPY IN ALUMINUM ALLOY AA3004 SHEETS

AA3004 alloy is widely used in can making. The major concern in the production of canbodies is earing, which develop by high planar anisotropy of rolled sheet. Balance ofrecrystallisation and rolling textures together with a uniform and fine grain microstructure canminimize the earing. The effects of finish rolling temperature (FRT) on planar anisotropy,microstructure, texture development and m...

EFFECTS OF TEXTURE ON THE DAMPING CHARACTERISTICS OF COLD-ROLLED AND ANNEALED Ti50Ni40Cu10 SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY

S. H. Chang, S. H. Hsiao, National I-Lan University, Taiwan Cold-rolled and annealed Ti50Ni40Cu10 shape memory alloy possesses a major (110)[001] texture along the rolling direction and a minor {111} γ-fiber texture along the normal direction. The damping capacity of the B2→B19 and B19→B2 martensitic transformation internal friction peaks for the Ti50Ni40Cu10 shape memory alloy was more pr...

Abnormal Subgrain Growth by Monte Carlo Simulation Based on Hot-rolled AA5005 Aluminum Alloy Texture

The subgrain structure of hot rolled aluminum alloy AA 5005 has been characterized on as-received samples using Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD). Based on the OIM scans of RD-ND and TD-ND, 3 dimensional microstructures of subgrains are built up using the 3D Microstructure Builder, which is a method for developing statistically representative digital representations of microstructures. Fo...
