Abstract:

The goal of this research is concerned with the following To study the effect of processing parameters on micro-structure, texture and formability of selected AA 5000 and AA 3000 series aluminum alloys and of AA 2037 aluminum alloy. To determine quantitatively the texture evolution of the above mentioned alloys during cold rolling. The equations of the texture volume fractions and true rolling strain will be established in order to predict the texture evolution during rolling. Our work will focus on the effect of initial microstructure and texture on the subsequent texture evolution.
