In this work the textures of MgAl9Zn1, MgAl6Zn1, MgAl3Zn1 and MgAl2Mn alloys have been studied, using individual grain orientation measurement (“ACOM”) in the SEM. Hot extruded billets, unidirectional, reverse and cross-rolled sheet metals as well as laser welding seams have been investigated. In the shaft of a partial extrudate through a circular die orifice, a <0001> ring fiber texture has formed which continuously changes into a spiral fiber texture in the bottom neck. The unidirectional and the reverse hot rolled MgAl2Mn specimens show an R type <0001> texture with a small asymmetrical split whereby the basal poles are tilted by about ±12° from the sheet normal direction to the rolling direction. In the hot cross rolled specimens, the basal poles are slightly spread both in the first and second rolling directions. Texture in the laser welding seams is weak and distinctly different from that of the sheet material. There is almost no heat affected zone at the margins of the welding seams.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of the hot-rolled Fe-6.5wt.%Si sheet are analyzed. The microstructure of the hot-rolled sheet is layered along the thickness direction. The surface exhibits fine and equiaxed grains, whereas the center part shows coarse and elongated grains with a <101> fiber texture along the rolling direction. Serrated flow behavior is observed during tensile deformation of both the hot-rolled sheet and its center samples at 350 °C; thus, the serrated flow of the hot-rolled sheet is mainly attributed to the serration of the center part. The analyses of dislocation configurations, ordered structures, and crystal orientation show that the serrated flow behavior results from the interaction of solutes with mobile dislocations. Mobile dislocations are pinned by combining parallel forest dislocations with the pipe diffusion of solution atoms. This study provides a new perspective for the deformation mechanism of the Fe-6.5wt.%Si alloy.

ABSTRACTIn hot rolled Ti-46.5at%Al-4at%(Cr,Nb,Ta,B) sheets a strong modified cube texture is found. The c-axes of the tetragonal unit cells in the grains are aligned with the transverse direction of the sheets. This texture causes an anisotropy of the creep resistance which is improved in transverse direction. Heat treatments with different subsequent cooling rates were performed in order to obtain lamellar microstructures with a different spacing of lamellae. Creep experiments exhibit an increase of the creep resistance which is highest after fast cooling. The texture measurements show no longer an alignment of c-axes after the heat treatment in the α-phase field, but a weak {110}-fiber texture in rolling direction occurs which causes a small improvement of the creep resistance in rolling direction. However, the creep resistance of the lamellar microstructure is more determined by the morphology than by the texture.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of the hot-rolled Fe-6.5wt.%Si sheet are analyzed. The microstructure of the hot-rolled sheet is layered along the thickness direction. The surface exhibits fine and equiaxed grains, whereas the center part shows coarse and elongated grains with a &lt;101&gt; fiber texture along the rolling direction. Serrated flow behavior is observed during tensile deformation of both the hot-rolled sheet and its center samples at 350 &deg;C; thus, the serrated flow of the hot-rolled sheet is mainly attributed to the serration of the center part. The analyses of dislocation configurations, ordered structures, and crystal orientation show that the serrated flow behavior results from the interaction of solutes with mobile dislocations. Mobile dislocations are pinned by combining parallel forest dislocations with the pipe diffusion of solution atoms.

Mg-2.0Zn-0.8Gd (wt. %) alloy was rolled consecutively at different temperatures. The influence of rolling temperature and annealing process on the microstructure, texture and mechanical properties of the sheet were investigated. A deformation microstructure consisting of many intersected twins and a few dynamic recrystallization grains, and a basal texture with basal poles tilting about ± 10-15° from the normal direction towards the rolling direction were observed in the as-rolled sheet after 4 consecutive rolling processes. Static recrystallizaiton took place in the sheet after annealed above 300 °C. The annealed sheet exhibited a uniform microstructure and a non-basal texture with basal poles tilting about ± 38-43° from the normal direction towards the transverse direction. The annealed sheets exhibited higher ductility about 32% along the rolling direction and 40% along the transverse direction comparing with the as-rolled sheets. The static recrystallization during annealing process was helpful to modify the texture as well as the dynamic recrystallization during rolling in the RE-containing alloys.

The crystallographic and topographic anisotropies of columnar grains can exert strong influence on the subsequently hot rolled, cold rolled and annealed microstructures, textures and properties. The single type tilting grain boundaries among columnar grains will behave differently depending on grain orientations, rolling direction and stress state due to hot rolling and thus affect in return the microstructure and texture to some extents. This work aims to reveal the effects of grain boundaries and their neighboring grain orientation gradients in three types of Fe-3Si in differently processed samples using EBSD technique.

In order to verify the origin of Goss nuclei for secondary recrystallization in Fe-3%Si steel, the effect of cold-rolling direction on the secondary recrystallization was examined in this study. The cold-rolling direction was rotated through 0 ~ 90 degrees about the hot-rolling direction on normal direction axis of hot-rolled sheet. In spite of the different initial texture before cold rolling, the 88% cold rolled texture was formed by similar α and γ fiber regardless of the rotation of cold rolling direction. Likewise, regardless of the cold rolling direction, the primary recrystallized sheets had a similar texture. In particular, the area fraction of Goss component (tolerance angle within 15º) in the primary recrystallized sheets was increased in the cold rolling condition of rotating through 60, 90 degrees from the hot rolling direction. After high temperature annealing at 1200°C, the secondary recrystallized grain was fully evolved in the all conditions. The sharpness of Goss texture in secondary recrystallized sheet was decreased as increasing the rotation angle of cold rolling direction.

The crystallite orientation distribution analysis was applied to the study of the development of the rolling textures in low-carbon steels. It was found that the constraining effect of the grain boundary remarkably influences the rolling textures of polycrystalline iron. This enhances the crystal rotations, which would not be expected to occur in single crystals; and grains having the {110}〈112〉 orientations are forced to rotate about the 〈111〉axes lying in the sheet normal direction toward the {110}〈110〉 orientations. This is the origin of the 〈111〉 fiber texture normally found in the rolling textures of low-carbon steels. The presence of the partial fiber texture having the 〈111〉 axes inclined 30 deg from the sheet normal toward the rolling direction could not be confirmed.

In order to develop favorable textures for deep drawing of Al-Mg-Si and Mg-Al-Zn alloys that are promising as automotive body panels, we have adopted the symmetric/asymmetric combination rolling (SACR) process consisting of conventional symmetric rolling and subsequent asymmetric rolling at relatively low reduction. The combination of symmetric cold rolling and asymmetric warm rolling for AA6022 sheets leads to the formation of “TD-rotated β-fiber texture”, resulting in the evolution of {111} recrystallization texture after solution treatment at a high temperature. The SACR processed and solution-treated sheets show a high average r-value with small in-plane anisotropy, and consequently the limiting drawing ratio increases significantly, compared to that of the cold-rolled and solution-treated sheets. In the case of AZ31 magnesium alloy, the SACR process by hot rolling causes the formation of a unique texture, which shows two (0001) poles with tilt angles of 0 and −40 degrees from the normal direction (ND) toward the rolling direction (RD). In addition, subsequent annealing weakens intensity of the double-peak texture, so that the drawability is greatly improved in comparison with that of the conventional warm-rolled sheets with a strong basal texture. At the same time, yield strength decreases to some extent, but the SACR processed and annealed sheets exhibit a good balance of strength and formability due to a mixed texture with basal and tilt components.
