Abstract
The microstructure and texture of industrially produced hot bands of direct chill (DC) cast AA 3105 and continuous cast (CC) AA 3015 during cold rolling and annealing have been studied. The textures were determined using an X-ray diffraction technique and then analysed using orientation distribution functions. The Copper, Brass, and S texture components were the major deformation texture components for both the DC and CC materials after the same cold rolling process. After an annealing process, the Cube component was found to be the major recrystallisation texture component for AA 3105 DC material. In contrast, it was difficult to obtain the Cube texture component in AA 3015 CC material after cold rolling followed by annealing. Instead, the P orientation {011} 〈566〉 with Euler angles of (ϖ1,Φ,ϖ 2) = (60°,45°,0°/90°) was found to be the major recrystallisation texture component of the AA 3015 CC material.
