Texture, microstructure and formability of SC and DC cast Al–Mg alloys

Microstructure and texture characterization of 7075 Al alloy during the SIMA process

“…Studies have indicated that alloys with coarse precipitates, typically above 1-2 μm, generate randomized texture due to PSN (Deng et al, 2010;Cheng and Morris, 2002). Similar conclusions were reported by Engler and Hirsch (2002) and Benum and Nes (1997) for Al-Mg-Si alloy sheet during cold rolling.…”

The influence of microchemistry on the softening behaviour of two cold-rolled Al–Mn–Fe–Si alloys

“…Recrystallization texture 4 evolution has also been investigated extensively since it determines the plastic anisotropy of the material. Factors affecting texture evolution are complex, including initial textures [19], deformation history [20], annealing temperatures [21], and particle structures [2,6,22]. After annealing of cold rolled sheets, weak textures are usually observed due to nucleation by PSN.…”

Simulation of earing during deep drawing of an Al–3% Mg alloy (AA 5754) using a texture component crystal plasticity FEM

“…These texture components promote earing essentially at 45 • /135 • with respect to the rolling direction. Annealing textures which may contain the cube orientation, {1 0 0} 0 0 1 , and also some Goss orientation, {1 1 0} 0 0 1 , also promote pronounced earing, namely, at the 0 • /90 • directions for the cube orientation and the Goss orientation [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. A useful approach, therefore, might consist in creating a sheet material with a low ear ratio by a suitable combination of crystals with an orientation that results in 45 • /135 • ears and those that produce 0 • /90 • ears [28,29].…”
