Abstract

This paper investigates the texture of Al–TiAl3 nanocomposites prepared by two different processes. First, a sandwich of two Al sheets with Ti powder underwent CRB. Subsequently, two groups of annealed-ARB and ARB-annealed samples were prepared. Microstructural texture was investigated by TEM, EBSD, and ODF analysis. Results showed a decrease in intensity of the cube component because of formation of nano shear bands in the fifth cycle of ARB. It was found that the presence of large particles of intermetallic compounds completely changes the annealing texture by affecting the movement of boundaries. With increase in the number of ARB cycles after annealing, the recrystallization texture components were completely eliminated. Only the deformation texture components, including strong Goss, Copper, Dillamore, Brass, and S components, were present. A remarkable point was the elimination of the cube texture component in the structure after the third cycle of ARB due to the development of shear bands.
