Abstract
Wires of an Al−0.9 pct Mg alloy drawn to 96 pct reduction in area were found to exhibit duplex 〈111〉 + 〈100〉 fiber textures. Transmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction revealed that the Ahlborn-Wassermann mechanical twinning mechanism was active in the formation of the 〈100〉 component. The work hardening characteristics of this alloy make it more susceptible to mechanical twinning than a pure metal of similar stacking fault energy. The nature of the boundaries within each texture component and between them is discussed.
