“…Several studies regarding the texture evolution in Al and its alloys [e.g., 3,16,17,[19][20][21]25,30] have demonstrated a similarity between the textures developed by ECAP and those imposed by a simple shear large-strain deformation. At the same time it is worth to expect that some additional lattice rotations can take place when the specimen is processed by repetitive ECAP [15]. Analysis of [3,7,12,[15][16][17][18]20,21,24,25] also suggests that texture changes may also depend on such deformation factors, as the route of ECAP, number of ECAP passes, deformation temperature, etc.…”
