Experiments and modelling of ECAE textures of f.c.c. polycrystals
FCC metals with different stacking fault energy (SFE), namely Al, Ag and Cu have been investigated for the evolution of crystallographic texture during ECAE deformation using Route A. Different materials with different SFE result in their characteristic textures. The results have been analysed on the basis of microstructural features and related established concepts on texture evolution in FCC metals.
