Analysis of texture evolution of cubic metals by isotropic and anisotropic viscoplastic self-consistent models

Abstract

The texture evolutions of cubic metals during tension, compression and rolling have been analyzed by isotropic and anisotropic self-consistent models with the large deformation theory of viscoplastic material. The final texture components predicted from an initial random texture were the same in both isotropic and anisotropic self-consistent models. The effect of rate sensitivity on the rolling texture component was analyzed. The intensity of the major Copper component of the rolling texture increased with the decreasing of rate sensitivity and the increasing of rolling strain.
