Abstract
In this work the formation of strong recrystallization cube texture in heavily rolled Ni–9.3 at % W has been studied. During the cold rolling (also known as recovery-rolling) process the deformation texture of Ni–9.3 at % W alloy (further notated as Ni9W) transforms to Copper-type rolling texture, and after annealing, a sharp cube texture is generated. It is remarkably strong recrystallization cube texture, as high as 93 vol %, in metallic materials with low stacking fault energy. The formation mechanism of the cube texture is adopted for the rapid recovery of cube nuclei at the early stage of recrystallization as well as fast migration rate of high angle boundaries between cube grains and deformed microstructure at high temperature. Considering the cold rolling texture of Ni9W, oriented nucleation seems to play more important role in the cube texture formation process. In this article, the relationship between the deformation texture and recrystallization cube texture is discussed.
