Effect of Roll Diameter and Modes of Rolling on Evolution of Texture in High Purity Aluminum

Abstract

Present work describes the development of texture in high purity aluminum under different modes of deformation by rolling using two different roll diameters, namely 300 and 610 mm. It has been observed that the change in both the roll diameter as well as the modes of rolling has a marked influence on the evolution of texture as well as the characteristics of a- and β-fibres. The results are discussed in terms of the effects of roll gap geometry and the relevant stress conditions that affect the strain path of crystallite rotation
