Abstract

The texture evolution of continuous-cast AA 5xxx-series aluminum alloys during cold rolling was investigated by X-ray diffraction. Texture volume fractions were calculated by an improved integration method. The results show that the relationship between the texture volume fractions and true strain can be quantified by mathematical formulae. The effect of alloy composition as well as initial microstructure and texture on rolling-texture evolution can be evaluated by the k i and n i values in the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) equation. The k i value reflects the rate of formation or disappearance of the texture components. The high-Fe AA 5754 aluminum alloy exhibits the lowest formation rate of the β fiber among the AA 5005, 5052, 5754, 5182, and high-Fe 5754 aluminum alloys.
