Fundamental Aspect of Texture Formation in Low Carbon Steel.

Abstract

The mechanism of the texture formation in low carbon steels is not fully understood as yet. To clarify this, a series of systematic investigations has been made. Summarizingthese results and comparing these with those bf other investigations, possible mechanisms of texture formation are discussed, In polycrystalline iron, deformation and recrystallization in grain boundary regions play the most important role in the texture formation, In this respect, results obtained on single and bi-crystals do not provide much informations. In polycrystals, crystal rotation occurs during rolling along different paths from that observed in single crystals, affected by grain boundary constraints significantly.
