The evolution of recrystallization textures in plastically deformed face centered cubic metals

The recrystallization texture of axisymmetrically deformed fcc metals having major <111> + minor <100> fibers and major <100> + minor <111> fibers is the <100> orientation. The evolution of the 100<001> recrystallization texture from the 112<111> deformation texture and near 031<20 1 3> recrystallization texture from plane strain compressed bicrystal 123<412> and the recrystallization texture of axisymmetrically deformed fcc metals have been discussed based on the energy release maximization theory in which the absolute maximum stress direction in deformed state becomes parallel to the minimum Young’s modulus direction after recrystallization.
