The evolution of texture as a function of recrystallization has been characterized for hotrolled AA1050. Samples prepared from hot rolled sheet were annealed isothermally for sufficient time to allow complete recrystallization. The microstructural variation and texture evolution in the samples was observed by automatic indexing of Electron Back Scatter Diffraction (EBSD) patterns in a Scanning ...

Using different homogenization treatments, different initial microchemistry conditions in terms of solid solution levels of Mn, and number densities and sizes of constituents and dispersoids were achieved in an Al-Mn-Fe-Si model alloy. For each homogenized condition, the microchemistry and microstructure, which further change both during deformation and subsequent annealing, were quantitatively...

In this paper, how magnetic hysteresis loop and magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN) measurements can provide non destructive information about the evolution of the microstructure during the annealing of cold rolled low carbon steel sheets is shown. The effect of recovery and recrystallization processes on hysteresis loop and MBN signal measurements is analysed and related to the microstructural cha...

Predicting microstructure and (micro-)texture evolution during thermo-mechanical processing requires the combined simulation of plastic deformation recrystallization. Here, a approach based on coupling full-field dislocation density crystal plasticity model cellular automaton is presented. A regridding/remeshing procedure used to transfer data between deformed mesh large-strain regular grid aut...

in the present study, the mechanical behavior of aa5052 aluminum alloy during cold deformation and subsequent isothermal annealing in a temperature range of 225-300oc was investigated using the uniaxial tensile test data. it is found that by increasing the annealing time and temperature the material yield strength is decreased. the microstructural investigations of the annealed samples show tha...

Partially recrystallized samples of 5352 aluminum alloy and pure titanium were sectioned and characterized with automated electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) in a scanning electron microscope. Pixels were partitioned into recrystallized (annealed state) and unrecrystallized (deformed state) using a criterion based on the confidence index (CI) and the diffraction pattern quality (IQ). Unrecr...

The formation of a recrystallization texture is closely related to the nucleation and growth of recrystallizing grains, which may vary from grain to grain. Cube texture is a commonly observed recrystallization texture in face centered cubic metals of medium to high stacking fault energy after heavy cold-rolling and annealing. In this work, recrystallization of pure copper cold-rolled to a von M...
