Texture evolution during thermomechanical treatments in Fe–Mn–Si shape memory alloys

Characterization of phases in an Fe–Mn–Si–Cr–Ni shape memory alloy processed by different thermomechanical methods

“…This alloy typically develops low-intensity texture, as documented previously [25,35]. We used the WIMV method, incorporated in Maud, to compute the ODF from experimental austenite (111), (200) and (220) pole figures, which coincided with our previous measurements [25].…”

Microstructure and shape memory properties of Fe–15Mn–5Si–9Cr–5Ni melt-spun ribbons

“…This texture is the result of performing a recrystalization annealing on the original solidification structure. Some grains are oriented in the most favourable direction for inducing the martensitic transformation [29]. A detailed analysis of the ribbons' texture is out of the scope of this paper and will be reported elsewhere.…”

Effect of the Manufacturing Process on the Texture and the Fraction of Stress-induced Martensite in an Fe-Mn-Si-Cr-Ni Shape Memory Alloy

“…Druker et al (2008) suggested that this is a characteristic of the alloy. Because of its low stacking fault energy the material twins during plastic deformation, which could influence the developed crystallographic orientations.…”

“…Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that a suitable texture will improve the SME in polycrystalline alloys for industrial applications. In a previous research, Druker et al (2008) investigated the effect of thermomechanical treatments on the texture of an Fe-31Mn-4Si alloy. They found that the shear stresses due to friction with the rolls and the roll gap geometry induced a low intensity {111}<110> texture in the surface layers of hot-rolled sheets.…”
