Free-end torsion tests were carried out on polycrystalline copper samples at room temperature, 125C, 200C and 300C. The lengths of the samples increased at room temperature and 125C, but increased and then decreased at 200C and 300C. Pole figures were measured on these samples at increasing shear strains up to ), 11. ODF's were calculated from the pole figures, which enabled the texture development at the two higher temperatures to be distinguished from that observed at the two lower temperatures. Analysis of these ODF's indicates that the low temperature torsion textures are entirely attributable to dislocation glide and can be predicted by means of the conventional texture development programs of crystal plasticity. By contrast, the high temperature textures display evidence for dynamic recrystallization, the occurrence of which seems to be responsible for the shortening. Dynamic recrystallization removes the {100} (110) or C component and strengthens the rotated cube and the 111 (110) or A components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
