Quantitative Investigation of Rolling Texture in Aluminium Plate

The investigation on rolling texture of commercially pure aluminium without initial texturo shows, that the orientation space, orientation distribution function, Gauss model and orientation fibre analysis are more powerful and easier methods for texture research and have many advantages. During the rolling of polycrystal aluminium the β fibre in the orientation space is the stable fibre. With increasing deformation the accumulation of grain orientations on β fibre keeps rising. The main rolling texture components are the C {112} <111>, S {123}<634>, B{110}<112> and G {110}<001>. Their stability during deformation is also analysed and discussed.
