Abstract
An analysis of the evolution of microstructure during deformation is made and the relationship between the microstructure and annealing texture development considered in detail. Although existing data are inadequate for a full assessment, it seems that all annealing texture components encountered in single-phase cubic metals can be explained in terms of one or other of three nucleation mechanisms. In situ subgrain-growth nucleation occurs for orientations within the stable-deformation texture, i.e. in regions of low lattice curvature. Transition band nuclei are of orientations remote from the stable deformation texture components in regions where slip rotations are divergent and nucleation at grain boundaries will provide orientations belonging to the principal spread about the deformation texture. The analysis applies for the most part to both fcc and bcc metals but there are some differences. One feature that is not common to both systems, the occurrence of the cube-texture in some fcc metals, is discussed in some detail.
