Effect of the mode of plastic deformation on the formation of the alloy-type texture

Abstract

The aim of this work was to explore the role of heterogeneous deformation in the formation of the alloy-type texture. Recent works on the role of the deformation mode in evolution of the deformation texture seem to shed new light on the problem of texture formation. In particular it has been shown, that the texture typical for pure fcc metals (copper type texture), may be easily converted into the B-component of the alloy type texture (brass texture) due to shear banding induced during cross-rolling. It was proved that deformation in shear bands is a simple transgranular shear (micro-shearband) which makes the polycrystalline metal behave like a single crystal oriented for the single system slip. In view of these results, it seems necessary to re-examine the problem of the formation of the brass type texture during monotonic rolling. In particular, there is no experimental information about the spatial orientation of shear bands in the test piece of brass, except that they occurs on average on lateral face of sample, at 35{degree} with respect to the rolling direction. This does not suffice yet to conclude whether the position of shear in brass is the same as in copper. It may as wellmore » be expected, that if the deformation in shear bands in brass is not a plane strain deformation with respect to the sample reference system or, in other words, the sample transverse direction does not lie in the plane of shear, the formation of shear bands may systematically lead to splitting of the metal type texture (resulting from homogeneous deformation) according to the geometry of shear bands. The problem of the spatial orientation of shear bands in monotonically rolled brass and of the evolution of the texture pattern is discussed in this work.« less
