An equiatomic CrCoNi medium-entropy alloy plate was heavily deformed by conventional cold rolling and subsequently annealed at different temperatures. Microstructure and texture evolution of the deformed and annealed sheets were investigated by electron backscatter diffraction and X-ray diffraction. Heavy cold rolling induces an alloy type α-fibre texture with major brass component. This type of texture is indicative of low stacking fault energy of the CrCoNi alloy. Annealing at 700 °C leads to a homogeneously recrystallized microstructure with ultrafine grains of about 800 nm average size. The volume fraction of different texture components is almost similar after annealing at different temperatures. However, the overall texture intensity after annealing is very weak. Finally, in order to understand the microstructure and texture evolution of the CrCoNi alloy, it is critically compared with other low stacking fault energy FCC materials.

High-temperature compression and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) techniques were used in a systematic investigation of the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior and texture evolution of the Inconel625 alloy. The true stress–true strain curves and the constitutive equation of Inconel625 were obtained at temperatures ranging from 900 to 1200 °C and strain rates of 10, 1, 0.1, and 0.01 s−1. The adiabatic heating effect was observed during the hot compression process. At a high strain rate, as the temperature increased, the grains initially refined and then grew, and the proportion of high-angle grain boundaries increased. The volume fraction of the dynamic recrystallization increased. Most of the grains were randomly distributed and the proportion of recrystallized texture components first increased and then decreased. Complete dynamic recrystallization occurred at 1100 °C, where the recrystallized volume fraction and the random distribution ratios of grains reached a maximum. This study indicated that the dynamic recrystallization mechanism of the Inconel625 alloy at a high strain rate included continuous dynamic recrystallization with subgrain merging and rotation, and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization with bulging grain boundary induced by twinning. The latter mechanism was less dominant.

Using SEM/EBSD the substructure and texture evolution in dual phase steels in the first steps of the process chain, i.e. hot rolling, cold rolling, and following annealing were characterized. In order to obtain dual phase steels with high ductility and high tensile strength an industrial process was reproduced by cold rolling of industrially hot rolled steel sheets of a thickness of 3.75 mm with ferrite and pearlite morphology down to a thickness of 1.75 mm and finally annealing at different temperatures. Such technique allows a compilation of ferrite and martensite morphology typical for dual phase steels. Due to the competition between recovery, recrystallization and phase trans-formation during annealing a variety of ferrite martensite morphologies was produced by promoting one of the mechanisms through the variation of technological parameters such as heating rate, intercritical annealing temperature, annealing time, cooling rate and the final annealing temperature. Annealing induced changes of the mechanical properties were determined by hardness measurements and are discussed on the basis of the results of the substructure investigations.

The mechanical behaviour and texture evolution during uniaxial compression of Zircaloy-4 at different temperatures (25, 300, 500 C) has been studied. At room temperature and 300 C the texture evolution and strain-hardening behaviour observed are attributed to the activation of {10-12} tensile twinning, which can be identified in optical micrographs and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) data. The influence of twinning upon the texture evolution and hardening rate becomes less apparent with increasing temperature. Nevertheless twinning is still active at 500 C. Simulation of the texture evolution at 500 C using crystal plasticity finite element modelling (CPFEM) indicates that slip alone cannot explain the experimentally observed textures at this temperature.

In order to determine the deformation temperature of next pass, the hot compression tests were performed by Gleeble-3800 at different temperature form 380 to 420 °C. The microstructure and texture evolution of repetitive upsetting-extruded (RUEed) Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr alloy during hot compression were studied by electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) analysis. The results showed that the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) occured during the hot compression processing from the strain-stress flow curves. When the temperature increased to 420 °C, the average grain size reduced to 6.64 μm, and the volume fraction of DRXed grains increased to 81.5%. All the compressed alloys exhibited a typical compression texture, the maximum texture intensity of {0001} plane gradually decreased with increasing temperature. When the compression temperature was up to 420°C, the the maximum texture intensity of {0001} plane was 3.207 due to the effect of DRXed grains. Finally, 420°C is chosen as the next deformation of next pass because of the more precipitation and DRXed grains.

Cu-12.1 at.% Al-4.1 at.% Zn alloys with stacking fault energy (SFE) of 7 mJ/m2 were rolled in liquid nitrogen. Further annealing treatment has been conducted to the cryorolled samples at different temperatures. Compared to cryorolled samples, it is found that the microhardness of the annealed ones has increased at the temperature of 200°C. The reason for the hardening phenomenon is briefly discussed in the paper.

The ferrite-pearlite microstructure was cold-rolled to form dual phase (DP) steels, the percentage reduction of which varied. To do so, the steels were annealed in two steps and then the workpiece underwent water quenching. Accordingly, a decrease was observed in the average size of the ferrite grains, from above 15 µm to below 2 µm, subsequent to the thermomechanical processing. By an increase in the reduction percentage, the volume fraction of martensite grew. The balance between strength and elongation also improved nearly 3 times, equivalent to approximately 37,297 MPa% in DP in comparison to 11,501 MPa% in the ferrite-pearlite microstructure, even after 50% cold-rolling. Based on Hollomon and differential Crussard-Jaoul (DC–J) analyses, the DP steels under investigation deformed in two and three stages, respectively. The modified C–J (MC–J) analysis, however, revealed that the deformation process took place in four stages. The rate of strain hardening at the onset of the deformation process was rather high in all DP steels. The given rate increased once the size of the ferrite grains reduced; an increase in the volume fraction of martensite due to larger percentage of reduction also contributed to the higher rate of strain hardening. The observation of the fractured surfaces of the tensile specimens indicated ductile fracture of the studied DP steels.

The severe sliding abrasion of single-phase metallic materials is a complex issue with a gaining importance in industrial applications. Different materials with different lattice structures react distinctly to stresses, as the material reaction to wear of counter and base body is mainly determined by the deformation behavior of the base body. For this reason, fcc materials in particular are investigated in this work because, as shown in previous studies, they exhibit better hot wear behavior than bcc materials. In particular, three austenitic steels are investigated, with pure Ni as well as Ni20Cr also being studied as benchmark materials. This allows correlations to be worked out between the hot wear of the material and their microstructural parameters. For this reason, wear tests are carried out, which are analyzed on the basis of the wear characteristics and scratch marks using Electron Backscatter Diffraction. X-ray experiments at elevated temperatures were also carried out to determine the microstructural parameters. It was found that the stacking fault energy, which influences the strain hardening potential, governs the hot wear behavior at elevated temperatures. These correlations can be underlined by analysis of the wear affected cross section, where the investigated materials have shown clear differences.
