Cyclic Textures in Aluminium Wires

Abstract

Three-dimensional orientation distribution functions were calculated from neutron diffraction pole figures of unwound cylinders taken at different distances from the centre of cold drawn Al-wires. Their features change from the axially symmetric type at the very centre of the wire towards a texture near to the rolling type at the surface. Relations between the three-dimensional function and ordinary fibre texture pole figures were used to study the dependence of the textures on certain processing variables for cold drawn as well as recrystallized wires.

Texture Gradient in a Rectangular Extruded Al60Mg40 Metal Matrix Composite

“…At the surface, the Al matrix shows a strong <111> fiber and a very weak <100> fiber. This kind of texture was usually observed after wire drawing and rod extrusion, as well as after uniaxial tensile loading [28].…”

Study of Deformation Microstructure and Static Recovery in Copper after Cold Drawing

“…The understanding of the recovery and recrystallization mechanisms in the as received copper wires by cold drawing requires the characterization of the deformation microstructure. From the literature, the dislocation structures in drawn copper has not been established, only the analysis of the texture has been already investigated [14][15][16][17][18]. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the deformation microstructure developed by cold drawing in copper, with a special emphasis on the static recovery mechanisms.…”
