In this work, the effect of cold rolling and heat treatment upon the microstructure and texture of the surface layer and cross-section of Ni5W alloy substrate was analyzed via the EBSD technique. A typical copper deformation texture was shown by the cold-rolled Ni5W alloy substrate. The cube-oriented nuclei were attributed to the rolling direction–transverse direction (RD-TD) plane due to the presence of copper and S rolling textures. Typical large-shape cold-rolled microstructure was presented by the RD-ND surface in the cube-oriented area. During the recrystallization process, the cube-oriented grains did not have a nucleation quantity advantage, but they did have an obvious growth advantage compared with other orientation grains. They can form a strong cube texture by absorbing the random orientation and rolling orientation through the migration of large-angle grain boundaries.

Sharp Cube Texture

It is well know that Ni-5at.% W(Ni5W) and Ni-9.3at.% W(Ni9W) alloy substrates are two kinds of promising materials to be employed in coated conductors. The Ni5W substrate is very easy to produce cube texture, while the Ni9W alloy has a lower magnetic property and higher strength. However, the pure cube texture are not capable to be obtained in Ni9W alloy. In this work, the preparation and texture development in both Ni5W and Ni9W alloy substrates have been reported. Highly biaxial textured Ni5W substrate was fabricated by cold rolling, followed by three different annealing routes. The texture analysis indicated that a sharp cube texture was formed after annealing at a wide temperature range of 800-1100°C in as rolled Ni5W substrate. The high quality of cube orientation was obtained after a two step annealing (TSA) with farthing twin boundaries analyzed by EBSD. Furthermore, in order to obtain a pure cube texture in Ni9W alloy substrate, a typical rolling process was performed and the deformation texture was optimized in these substrates. The designed deformation texture components were obtained in Ni9W alloy when pre-heating the ingot at 250 °C before performing a cold rolling, which shows a possibility to form cube texture in Ni9W alloy substrate after annealing.

The cube texture evolution during annealing of the heavy cold-rolled Cu-45at.%Ni alloy tapes were investigated by XRD and electron back scattering diffraction techniques. The results indicated that the fraction of Copper-type rolling texture was slightly strengthened during recovery, and then strongly reduced during recrystallization. The cube texture was formed by consuming the rolling texture components during recrystallization process, and the S, Copper and Brass orientations were consumed together via cube grain growth. A strong cube-textured Cu-45at.%Ni alloy substrate with the cube texture fraction of 98.6 % (< 10°) was obtained after annealing at 1000 oC for 1 h.

In this paper, Q235 steel was investigated in order to manufacturing ultra-high strength material. The process of severe cold-rolling and low temperature annealing of lath martensite effectively reduced the crystal size from about 300 nm to 20 nm, and introduced mass weak interfaces in steel, has been demonstrated a new promising technique for producing in-situ composite multi-nanolayer steel with ultra-high strength (b 2112 MPa). Cold rolling and subsequent annealing have great impact on microstructure evolution as well as material mechanical properties. In the as-rolled state, the strength is approximately four times increased than as-received material (hot-rolled state, b 515 MPa), which is attributed to work hardening and grain refining during cold rolling. As the cold-rolled sample subjected to further annealing below 500 , deformed microstructure underwent further recovery and recrystallization, finally became refined equiaxed grains, microstructure characteristics along rolling direction arrangement was decreased; In addition to ultrafine ferrite grains, nano-carbides precipitated uniformly in the specimen annealed at 500 , total elongation increased to 16%, the corresponding yield strength was 1208MPa, much higher than that of as-received samples. The phenomenon of fracture delamination was observed from the specimens, which were cold-rolled and annealed at 500 , and the delamination plane was parallel to the rolling plane. In-situ composite weak interfaces effect has great impact on the fracture surface.

The high critical current density of YBCO-coated conductors prepared by rolling assisted biaxially textured substrate technic is mostly based on the high quality cube-textured substrates. In this paper, the effect of initial grain size of ingot on the microstructure and texture evolutions during cold rolling has been investigated in high alloyed Ni8W ingots, which can affect the cube texture formation in Ni8W alloy substrates subsequently. Finally, high quality cube texture had been obtained in Ni8W alloy substrate with fine initial grain size prepared by advanced SPS technology.

Two Phases

The textures of cold-rolled AISI 304 austenitic steel were the object of the investigations. The austenite steel was deformed by cold-rolling to 20, 40 and 70% reduction. A significant amount of martensite, formed due to the strain induced (γ®a’) transformation, was detected in the deformed structure by applying magnetic and X-ray diffraction methods. Texture analysis was performed on the basis of the orientation distribution functions (ODFs) calculated from the experimental pole figures. The texture measurements of both phases were conducted from the center layers of the cold-rolled strip. In the case of metastable austenite AISI 304 steel the texture development was very complex because three processes were proceded simultaneously during the cold-rolling, namely: plastic deformation of the austenitic g-phase, strain induced phase transformation γ®a’ and deformation of the formed a’-martensite. These processes resulted in the presence of two phases in the structure of the steel with a definite crystallographic relationship and orientation changes of both phases with increasing of the deformation. Thus, the resultant deformation texture of the investigated steels is described by the austenite and martensite texture components. The rolling texture of γ-phase describes mainly orientations from the fiber α =<110>║ND and the major components of the martensite deformation texture are orientations from the fibers α1=<110>║RD and γ ={111}║ND.

Heavily cold rolled BCC steel has been indicated to generate {411}<148> recrystallisation texture and its family orientations which might be represented as {h,1,1}<1/h,1,2>. As a-fibre structure, or RD//<011> texture is significantly developed during the cold rolling, it is naturally speculated to be the recrystallisation site of {h,1,1}<1/h,1,2> fibre. The present paper prompts to demonstrate the recrystallisation procedure by utilising EBSP-OIM analysis. The first demonstration was carried out with OIM analysis on partially recrystallised cold rolled steel. At the stage of 50% recrystallisation, only ND//<111> texture has appeared for the recrystallised area. {100}<011> - {211}<011> a-fibre remains as deformed structure, and several {h,1,1}<1/h,1,2> grains could be found at the grain boundaries. Therefore, a bi-crystal of {100}<011> was employed to simulate the irregular deformation at the grain boundary. After cold rolling, a warp toward the grain boundary was observed. Although the interior of the {100}<011> single crystal was hardly recrystallised, sharp {411}<148> texture was created along the grain boundary. In order to confirm the phenomenon, another experiment was carried out that a cold rolled {100}<011> single crystal was bent along the rolling direction and annealed. Very sharp {411}<148> recrystallisation texture was formed again at the bent perimeter. These experimental results lead us to conclude that the irregular strain was sufficiently piled at the grain boundary after the heavy deformation and generates {h,1,1}<1/h,1,2> texture. On {100} pole figures, the recrystallisation textures were equivalently scattered around three <100> poles, therefore the rotation relationship around <111> axes with the original orientation was suggested.

Recrystallization kinetics in copper cold-rolled to 90% reduction with and without significant widening was investigated by electron backscatter diffraction. It was found that the recrystallization process was slightly retarded and the development of cube recrystallization texture was largely inhibited in the widening sample. Cube grains were observed to have a growth advantage by a factor of 2 in the non-widening sample, while this growth advantage was not observed in the widening sample. The recrystallization kinetics and the development of cube texture in the two samples are discussed.

Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) technology was applied to study the effect of pre-recovery on the recrystallization texture in nickel substrates for coated conductors. Pure nickel (99.999%) was cold rolled by a 95% total reduction, and then samples were annealed at 200 °C for 1 hour and quenched for fully recovery, and finally annealed at 600 °C for 1 hour and quenched in water. The results show that pre-recovery had a strong influence on the formation of cube recrystallization texture. Compared with samples without pre-recovery treatment at 200 °C, samples through pre-recovery treatment can achieve stronger cube texture after recrystallization annealing, and develop more low-angle grain boundaries but less sigma 3 (Σ3) grain boundaries.
