Evolution of microstructure and texture in Al-2.5%Mg and Al- 2.5%Mg-0.2%Sc alloys during severe cold rolling and subsequent annealing was studied using electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD). These alloys were first thermo-mechanically processed to sheets of average thickness (~1mm) with well recrystallized microstructures. These sheets were subsequently severely coldrolled up to an equivalent strain of 4.32 using a combination of Accumulative Roll Bonding and conventional cold-rolling. The deformed alloys were subjected to isochronal annealing treatment for one hour in a wide temperature range. Development of Ultrafine lamellar microstructure subdivided by high angle grain boundaries (HAGB) and pure metal or copper type texture was observed in both the alloys during deformation. Al-Mg-Sc consistently showed higher hardness as compared to the Al-Mg. Al-Mg recrystallized around ~ 2500C but in Al-Mg-Sc the recrystallization was greatly delayed up to 500°C and the deformation texture components were retained during annealing. The differences in the recrystallization behavior of two materials were discussed with regard to the deformation microstructure and presence of fine precipitates.
The evolution of recrystallization texture was investigated in severely deformed Al–2.5 wt.%Mg alloy. For this purpose the alloy was cold and warm-rolled to 97% reduction in thickness at room temperature and 473 K (200 °C), respectively, using a combination of accumulative roll bonding and conventional rolling. The deformed materials were annealed at temperatures ranging between 473 K (200 °C) and 673 K (400 °C). The deformed materials showed fine lamellar structure and strong copper type texture. However , the warm-rolled material showed much stronger cube texture ({1 0 0}h0 01i) after different anneal-ing treatments. Orientations of early recrystallized grains in partially recrystallized materials obtained after annealing for short duration revealed strong tendency for preferential nucleation of cube grains in warm-rolled as compared to the cold-rolled material. The observed preferential nucleation of cube oriented grains in warm-rolled material was attributed to more recovered structure of cube oriented grains. In contrast, strong pinning of dislocations by solute Mg atoms during cold-rolling at room temperature inhibited the recovery of cube grains and greatly diminished their preferential nucleation. The cube component was significantly strengthened with increasing annealing temperature in both cold and warm-rolled materials due to the growth of the cube grains.
Evolution of microstructure and texture during heavy cold-rolling and annealing of Al-2.5%Mg-0.2%Sc alloy was investigated. For this purpose recrystallized sheets of 1mm thickness having finely dispersed precipitates were processed to 3 cycles of ARB (equivalent strain, εeq=2.4) followed by conventional rolling to a final thickness of 200µm resulting in total equivalent strain of 4.0. Evolution of ultrafine microstructure and strong copper or pure metal type texture were observed during deformation. During annealing very stable microstructure was observed up to 400˚C but further annealing resulted in formation of a layered microstructure with deformed layer sandwiched between recrystallized layers. Formation of strong cube texture is not observed in the recrystallized layers. Isothermal annealing for longer time at 500°C leads to abnormal growth of Q orientation ({013}<213>) within the deformed layer.
The effect of change in strain path during cold rolling on the evolution of microstructure and texture is investigated. For this purpose, high purity aluminum and Al-2.5%Mg alloy are deformed ($90% reduction in thickness) by unidirectional and cross cold rolling. Irrespective of the alloy system, copper-type texture is observed in unidirectional processed materials, while strong brass ({011}AE112ae) texture is developed during cross rolling. Unidirectionally rolled aluminum showed higher HAGB fraction, but similar HAGB spacing as compared to the cross-rolled aluminum after 90% reduction in thickness. At the same time, the internal misorientation in the cross-rolled 2N-Al is higher than in the unidirectionally rolled material. In contrast, Al-2.5% Mg alloy processed differently in both ways shows similar HAGB fraction, spacing, and internal misorientation distribution. These observations indicate that microstructure evolution due to strain path change is more strongly affected by dynamic recovery as compared to texture evolution.
he hot band of a continuous cast Al–Mg alloy possesses a typical deformed structure and a strong fiber rolling texture. The hot band was heat-treated at 260◦C for 3h to generate different degrees of strain hardening. The hot band and its counterpart after recoverytreatmentwerecoldrolledtodifferentreductions along the original transverse direction. The effect of strain hardening on texture evolutionwas investigated by X-ray diffraction. The results show that a high degree of strain hardening reducesthe formation rate of the fiber rolling texture.
Evolution of cube texture after annealing was investigated in severely cold and warm-rolled Al–2.5 wt.%Mg alloy without and with prior recovery treatments. The alloy was cold and warm-rolled at room temperature and at 473 K (200 °C), respectively, to 97% reduction in thickness and annealed at different temperatures ranging from 548 K (275 °C) to 673 K (400 °C). The warm-rolled material showed much stronger and sharper cube texture as compared to the cold-rolled material after different annealing treatments. However, prior recovery treatments at 473 K (200 °C) significantly diminished the strength of the cube texture in the warm-rolled material after annealing. In contrast, the strength of the cube component after annealing in the cold-rolled material was not significantly affected by the prior recovery treatments. The observed differences could be adequately explained by the preferential recovery and nucleation behavior of cube grains in different treated conditions.

The time-of-flight neutron diffraction data collected in-situ on Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s (ORNL, Oak Ridge, TN, USA) VULCAN and Los Alamos National Laboratory’s (LANL, Los Alamos, NM, USA) High-Pressure-Preferred-Orientation (HIPPO) diffractometers have been analyzed complementarily to show the texture evolution during annealing of a cold-rolled Al-2%Mg alloy. The texture analysis aimed to identify the components present in the initial rolling (or deformation) texture and in the thermally-activated recrystallization texture, respectively. Using a quasi-Monte-Carlo (QMC) approach, a new method has been developed to simulate the weighted texture components, and to obtain inverse pole figures for both rolling and normal directions. As such, distinct recrystallization pathways during annealing in isochronal conditions, can be revealed in terms of the evolution of the texture components and their respective volume fractions. Moreover, the recrystallization kinetics associated with...

The influence of the initial grain size prior to deformation on the rolling and recrystallization textures is investigated in the alloy Al-l.8wt%Cu by X-ray macrotexture analysis. Two different particle stages are examined: (i) Small shearable precipitates give rise to shear band formation and, during annealing, to nucleation of recrystallization at shear bands. (ii) Large particles cause particle stimulated nucleation of recrystallization (PSN). The microstructural evolution, particularly during recrystallization nucleation, is elucidated by metallographical investigations supported by EBSD local texture analysis.Both the initial grain size and the precipitation state strongly influence the evolution of the rolling textures. The results are interpreted with the help of Taylor-type deformation models. The recrystallization textures of Al-alloys emerge from a superposition of the orientations stemming from the various nucleation sites, i.e. Cube-bands, shear bands and particles. An i...
The present research is focused on studying the evolution of microstructure and texture of a magnesium based alloy with the target composition Mg–3Al–1Zn–(0.5AgIn). Three samples A, B, and C were warm rolled at 300 °C to a cumulative reduction of 33% in 1, 2, and 8 passes, respectively. The optical microstructures and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results revealed that sample A possessed more dynamic recrystallization (DRX) as compared to samples B and C. A split of basal pole from normal direction (ND) toward transverse direction (TD) was observed for sample A. However, as the number of passes was increased, the basal pole split was converted into a single peak for samples B and C. The basal intensity of sample C became almost double than that of sample A. It was concluded that a higher reduction per pass resulted in a larger volume fraction of DRXed grains and a weaker basal texture.
Evolution of microstructure and texture during severe deformation and annealing was studied in Al-2.5%Mg alloy processed by two different routes, namely, monotonic Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) and a hybrid route combining ARB and conventional rolling (CR). For this purpose Al-2.5%Mg sheets were subjected to 5 cycles of monotonic ARB (equivalent strain (e eq) = 4.0) processing while in the hybrid route (ARB + CR) 3 cycle ARB-processed sheets were further deformed by conventional rolling to 75% reduction in thickness (e eq = 4.0). Although formation of ultrafine structure was observed in the two processing routes, the monotonic ARB—processed material showed finer microstructure but weak texture as compared to the ARB + CR—processed material. After complete recrystallization, the ARB + CR-processed material showed weak cube texture ({001}AE100ae) but the cube component was almost negligible in the monotonic ARB-processed material-processed material. However, the ND-rotated cube components were stronger in the monotonic ARB-processed material-processed material. The observed differences in the microstructure and texture evolution during deformation and annealing could be explained by the characteristic differences of the two processing routes.

Aluminium alloys are of particular interest because of their low density, low cost and ease of thermo-mechanical processing. During the recent years, much interest has been shown in the development of alloys with optimal mechanical properties which can be retained at high temperatures. The purpose of the present investigation is to study the microstructure of two Al-Mg-Si alloys containing transition elements after cold deformation 10%, 20 %, 30%, 40% and 50% reduction in thickness and annealing at 1 hour at different temperature by using the optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopic (TEM), Vickers hardness measurement. We notice that the micro-hardness increases with the increasing of the deformation level. The coarse particles, with a particle size of about 2 to 3 µm, give rise to a heavily local deformation of the Aluminium matrix. The formation of well-defined substructure due to the arrangement of dislocations is observed after an increase in annealing temperature.
