Abstract

The crystallographic texture development in uniaxial compression tests of tungsten heavy alloys was systematically investigated by varying the tungsten content of the alloys. It was observed that the b.c.c. tungsten particles had a characteristic double fiber texture consisting of <111> and <100> fibers, which was irrespective of the alloy composition under consideration. The effect of the composition was shown mainly in relation to the relative proportion of <100> and <111> fiber. It was observed that the <100> fiber strengthens with increasing tungsten content, although the <111> fiber remained as the strongest fiber in all the five compositions considered in the present work. The strengthening of <100> fibers with an increased tungsten content was understood by performing self-consistent texture simulations in combination with a lattice corotation scheme to account for the role of neighboring grain orientations in texture evolution. A physical justification of the role of the neighbors is given by the shift of the orientations around the [110]-[411] divergent line. The random fluctuations that originate from the neighbors displace the orientation from the above of divergent downwards, which in turn leads to the displaced grains rotating in the direction of the <100> corner.
