On Texture Formation at Cold Rolling of Mn‐Cu Alloys

Abstract

The texture formation in quenched y-phase Mn-Cu alloys at cold rolling have been studied. It was found that the final texture in martensitic Mn-10% Cu alloy consists of nearly equal volume of {OOl}(lOO) and {112}(11T) texture components. A sharper {101}(T21) component in small amounts can be present too. In austenitic Mn-22% Cu alloy the (112)(11~) component is more scattered and weakened, and the strong {101}(121) component has formed. In the Mn-30% Cu alloy the {001}(100) component is almost absent, {ll2}(llT) is very weak and the {101} (721)
