A geometrical theory for {111} <hkl> recrystallisation texture formation in cold rolled IF steel

Abstract

The introduction of a conditional deformating banding into BCC rolling texture modellling has produced a clue as too the origins of the {111} <hkl> texture as it develops from the γ fibre material. OIM has reveqaled that deformation bands are present in many deformed γ grains, which therefore produced the gometrical condition for successful nucleation of rotated <111> ND material by either subgrain growth or SIBM. Clearly the roles of solutes and precipitates have to be established in this deformation microstructure.
