“…The findings of longtime relaxation and reorientation effects enrich the knowledge of texture developments, though being investigated and understood, so for rather narrow time e.g. during intermediate stages of primary recrystallization of rolled copper sheets as a function of the annealing time [6]. Continuously occuring long time texture changes seem, however, at least on a first glance, unpredictable in view of the relative strengths of various texture transition mechanisms which depend on parameters like temperature, deformation velocity, and stacking fault energy, see e.g.…”
