Tube Drawing with Tilted Die: Texture, Dislocation Density and Mechanical Properties

Anisotropic behavior is a key characteristic for understanding eccentricity in tubes. In this paper, the effect of using tilted die during tube drawing on eccentricity, texture, dislocation density, and mechanical properties shown. Copper tubes were drawn with ±5° two passes. The increase or decrease can be controlled by controlling angle die. Two types textures have been developed drawing, namely plane strain uniaxial types. Plain type texture mainly characterized ? fiber dominant copper component {112}<111>. deformation dominated <111> fiber, as commonly found wire drawing. Texture sharpness increases increasing strain, varies significantly between maximum minimum wall thickness. This variation thickness has no significant influence properties, which are more less similar, but strength after each pass apparent. density low as-received due to recovery recrystallization. consistent cube {001}<100>. During function strain. deformed ?5° higher than +5°
