Textures and local textures in severely cold-rolled and annealed ultra-fine-grained FeCo alloy
We find that a severely rolled FeCo alloy has anomalous enhancement of the rotated-cube {100}< 011 > texture component and a decrease of the {111} components after annealing, which is contrast to the recrystalliization behaviors reported in traditional BCC metals and alloys. The local texture measurements show that two kinds of grains with obviously different orientations, i.e. {100} and {111}, are heterogeneously distributed in the deformed specimen and the migration of high-angle grain boundaries is observed after annealing in the disordering temperature region.
