Abstract

Evolution of Goss texture in an Al–Cu–Mg alloy during cold rolling was investigated by three-dimensional orientation distribution functions, electron back-scattered diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that with increasing reduction from 23.7 to 80%, Goss textures gradually transformed into Brass texture through the activation of sole {111}<110> slip systems. When rolling reduction further increased from 80 to 86.3%, Goss texture rather than Brass started to rotate towards Copper and S components. The formation of Copper and S textures at these high reductions was attributed to the activation of {110}<110> and {001}<110> non-octahedral slip systems.
