Local texture evolution during rolling deformation of single crystals of {100}< 011 > orientation
Single crystals of the 45degrees ND rotated cube orientation, {100}<011>, are very unstable under rolling deformation, and therefore are expected to provide a good system for investigating the effect of location dependent shear strain on texture evolution during rolling. For this purpose, single crystals of Al-1%Mn have been deformed by cold rolling to reductions of up to 90%. The macroscopic pattern of crystal rotation across the thickness of the samples has been investigated using orientation measurements obtained using the electron back-scattered pattern (EBSP) technique. Analysis of the microscopic sub-division pattern was carried out both using EBSP measurements together with transmission electron microscope (TEM) investigations. Similar to observations made on rolled single crystals of the {100}<001> orientation, extended regions of either continuously varying orientation (transition bands), and regions of approximately uniform orientation (matrix bands) are observed. Additionally in the central layer of the rolled sample, a region consisting of narrow layers with orientations alternating between just two texture components, was observed at all strains. This complex pattern of macroscopic crystal rotations is related to the total external imposed shear strain resulting both from geometrical and frictional effects.
