Texture development in Al 1.8wt% Cu depending on the precipitation state—I. Rolling textures

The development of rolling texture and structure of an alloy Al 1.8wt% Cu was analyzed as function of the precipitation state, which was extensively varied by systematically changing the annealing treatment. While the type of the texture (Copper-type texture) was independent of the precipitation state, by means of the quantitative analysis of the orientation distribution function (ODF) significant differences in the texture development could be revealed. From these conclusions about the differences of the deformation modes for different precipitation states could be drawn.
