Drawing Direction

This study deals with the texture evolution during drawing of interstitial-free low carbon steels under different conditions to study the possible influence of the drawing direction, deformation rate and metal/die friction coefficient. The drawing has been carried out without intermediary annealing, with constant die angle and deformation rate per pass. In all cases, a 〈110〉 fibre texture has been observed at the early stage of deformation (a few percents). The drawing direction, whether alternate or unidirectional, has little effect on texture. Slight differences only in the intensity of peaks on pole figures (PFs) are noted. Alternate drawing leads to higher drawing limits. The grain size affects both the texture and the mechanical properties, which are improved by fine grains. For industrial drawing, i.e. at a high deformation rate, no texture gradient has been clearly observed. Nevertheless, slight differences have been noted in the PF intensities, with generally a slightly sharper texture in the core, compared to the surface. The microhardness tests show no hardness gradient. In slow drawing (low deformation rate), there is a weak texture gradient which disappears at larger deformation. In order to visualize the influence of the metal/die friction, we used a material covered with copper. Results show that at a given reduction rate, the material covered with copper shows peak intensities on the (110) PF which are half these of a material drawn under conventional conditions. The drawing textures of BCC materials always present a 〈110〉 fibre texture. A modeling of the texture evolution during drawing has also been carried out using the Taylor model.

Less attention has been paid to study the recrystallization and grain growth behavior of severe plastically deformed (SPD) metals specially steels that are deformed to very high strain by conventional rolling method. Present work has been focused on systematic investigation of recrystallization and grain growth behavior of a Aluminium Killed (AK), an Interstitial Free (IF) and an Interstitial Free High Strength (IFHS) steels that were subjected to very high levels of strain (ԑeqv= 4.51) by cold rolling. The cold rolled steels show fine lamellar structure with very strong texture consists of both γ and α fibre. All the steels show formation of ultrafine grains and dramatic rise in the intensity of α fibre component in the early stages of annealing. However, progress of annealing for longer time leads to an increase in the mean grain size as well as γ fibre intensity. The results also indicate that the heavily cold rolled material exhibit selective growth of specific texture components.It appears that microstructure and texture is closely related to the observed phenomenon.

Ultra Low Carbon Steel

After primary recrystallization, on further annealing, abnormal grain growth occurred in ultra low carbon steel. Texture evolution was studied by comparing the orientations after complete secondary recrystallization, with on one hand the nuclei for abnormal grain growth and on the other hand the selective growth products of the primary recrystallized matrix. The influence of both mechanisms could be identified in the final texture.

In this paper were analyzed the effects of double reduction and annealing during rolling process on texture evolution in an ultrathin sheet of low carbon steel. Experimental samples were obtained from each process stage. EBSD technique and correlated tools as orientation density functions and pole figures were used to analyze the microstructural changes and the texture. Results show that {111} recrystallized grains were formed during process, reducing dramatically gamma-fibre texture intensity and generating an adequate finished product for deep die stamping.

Two low carbon steels alloyed with 0.48wt% and 0.78wt% Cr were warm rolled to 65% reduction at 640°C. Annealing was carried out at 710°C to achieve a range of recrystallized volume fractions up to 100%. Texture analysis was performed by X-ray diffraction and Electron Back Scattering Diffraction. During the initial stages of recrystallization, more recrystallized grains nucleated at shear bands than at grain boundaries in the 0.48wt%Cr steel, whereas this was not the case in the 0.78wt%Cr steel. This is associated with a decrease in the propensity to form shear bands due to the lower amount of C in solid solution in the high-Cr steel. Additionally, the nuclei showed a preference to develop the same fiber as the deformed region within which they nucleated. In both steels, an increase in the annealing time led to the deterioration of the ND (or γ) –fiber and a strengthening of both the RD (or α) –fiber and Goss component. In the fully recrystallized samples, the ND component was somewhat stronger in the steel with the higher Cr content.

Main Component

The present study examines deformation textures in low-carbon steel with microstructural heterogeneity. EBSD and XRD have been used in order to follow the evolution of the texture in relation with deformation evolution. The non-deformed material shows a {111} fibre texture (γ-fibre), with a main component {111} <112>. The deformation aptitude may be related for bcc metals to the evolution of this fibre texture component. To follow the evolution of the deformation textures, tensile tests were performed from 5% up to failure. During deformation, the {111} <110> deformation component sharpens. In the presence of this component in the non-deformed sheet, plastic flow is easy, while the grain reorientation from the initial orientation {111} <112> towards the bcc deformation orientation {111}<110> implies an important micro-constraint state, which is able to initiate cracking in the studied sheet during drawing. Heterogeneous structure that develops during deformation induces heterogeneous mechanical behaviour; noted this evolution is not predictable using global characterization techniques. The morphological analysis shows the micro-band presence. In a heterogeneous structure the risk of cracking seems to increase in the presence of small grains {111} <112 > clusters. The EBSD technique showed the adjustment of the grain orientation from the component {111} <112> towards the global deformation orientation {111} <110>. This process can explain the possibility of crack propagation in a globally ductile material characterized by a main component {111} <110>.

Low Carbon Steels

The austenite-to-ferrite phase transformation, which is an inherent feature of low-alloyed ultra low carbon steels, has scarcely been investigated to control surface texture and microstructure evolution. This paper investigates the systematic evolution of texture and microstructure at the metal-vapour interface during interrupted annealing in vacuum. Interrupted annealing experiments were carried out on three ultra low carbon steel sheets alloyed with Mn, Al and Si. The texture and microstructures have been investigated by X-ray diffraction and SEM-EBSD techniques. These results reveal a very clear variation in the surface texture components as well as in the surface microstructure after BCC recrystallisation and double  transformation interrupted annealing. The recrystallisation texture consists mainly of a <111>//ND fibre, while the transformation texture at the surface exhibits a <100>// ND fibre in combination with components of the <110> //ND fibre. It has been revealed that the latter specific surface texture was present in a monolayer of outer surface grains which were in direct contact with the vapour atmosphere. This observed phenomenon could be explained by considering the role of surface energy anisotropy occurring during phase transformation annealing.

The Stability

Texture evolution in two magnesium alloys, Mg-4%Zn-1%Nd and Mg-1%Zn-1%Nd (weight percentage), was studied after rolling and the subsequent isothermal annealing. The finish rolling was completed in a single pass with a thickness reduction rate of ~30% at 100 °C and a rolling speed of 1000 m/min. After cooling to room temperature, the rolled samples were annealed at 350 °C for different annealing times. Upon annealing, the maximum intensity of the basal pole texture decreases as recrystallization progresses. In the Mg-1Zn-1Nd alloy (with a high Nd/Zn ratio), texture weakening is maintained even after complete recrystallization and grain coarsening, while in the Mg-4Zn-1Nd alloy, texture strengthening occurs after grain coarsening, and a single peak replaces the double split basal peaks. In the Mg-1Zn-1Nd alloy, grain coarsening is accompanied by a bimodal grain size distribution, whereas in the Mg-4Zn-1Nd alloy, the grain coarsening leads to a uniform grain size distribution. TEM investigations show the formation of the Zn and Nd rich clusters at early stage of annealing in both alloys. During recrystallization, these clusters were dissolved in the Mg-4Zn-1Nd alloy, but they are more stable in the Mg-1Zn-1Nd alloy. In our opinion, the formation of these stable clusters is one of the main factors for texture weakening of the Mg-Zn-RE alloys.

The effect of near surface-ultrafine grain (NSUFG) layer with grain size of about 90nm on the solid reaction between Ti-added ultra-low carbon interstitial free steel sheet and electroplated zinc layer (ZP) was basically investigated at 473K and 573K, in comparison with the reactions of the coarse grains IF steel sheet (CG-IF) and the ZP. The NSUFG structure dramatically changes the reactions between ZP and IF steel, as follows; (1) the incubation times for the formation of reaction layers, pseudo-z-phase, are quite shorter for the NSUFG/ZP reactions than the CG/ZP ones, (2) in the early stage of annealing the former has the smooth interfaces of pseudo-z-phase layers but the latter has wavier ones like a stone wall, (3) the thickness of the pseudo-z-phase layer of the former is thicker than that of the latter, (4) some cracks are observed in NSUFG layers while no crack in coarse grain IF steel, and (5) the subsequent layer appears in the reaction between pseudo-z-phase and NSUFG layers former after long annealing by the blast-like break of the interface.
