Abstract

Through-thickness crystallographic texture of a rolled and subsequently annealed Al-Mg continuous cast (CC) alloy was examined. Results showed that the annealed sheet developed a through-thickness texture gradient with the form of a stronger cube texture at the surface when compared to the center layers and varied R orientations through the thickness. While the through-thickness texture gradient was not attributed to the shear related texture, it was still related to the extent of deformation within the sheet.
