Abstract

The correlation between the mechanism of recrystallisation and the annealing texture of aluminium-copper alloys was investigated by transmission electron microscopy and selected area diffraction, and pole figure determination by X-rays. Continuous recrystallisation by sub-grain growth leads to preservation of the rolling texture, while recrystallisation by motion of a high-angle boundary produces a cube texture as in pure aluminium. The conditions under which the different modes of recrystallisation occur and the reasons for the formation of the two types of textures are discussed on the basis of microscopic mechanisms.
