Prediction of Texture and Formability of Continuous Cast AA 5000 and 2000 Series Aluminum Alloy Sheets and Their Quality Improvement

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.
