Optimized conditions of hot and cold rolling followed by annealing can result in a balance between recrystallization and rolling textures in order to reduce the planar anisotropy of brass sheets. In this work, the effect of finish rolling temperature, cold reduction and annealing temperature on texture development has been investigated. It is shown that uniform deformation at higher finishing temperature is responsible of formation of a severe Cube and G texture components. In contrast, mechanical twinnings are widely formed at low finishing temperatures. There is also a direct relation between the intensity of Cube component and the amount of cold reduction  

The control of texture and microstructure can be achieved by an appropriate thermomechanical treatment in industrial production. The effects of finish rolling temperature, cold reduction and annealing temperature on texture development and microstructure in Brass sheet were investigated. The role of deformation inhomogeneities on texture evolution has been considered. The formation of transition bands during hot rolling enforced the intensity of cube components. Shear bands increased the intensities of S and Cu components after cold rolling and at higher cold reductions. Transition from Cu to Y and Y to Bs was completed better because of mechanical twinning. Thermal twins annihilated the... 

Particle stimulated nucleation (PSN) is one of the important mechanisms of recrystallization which is investigated in this research during non-isothermal annealing of multi-directionally forged solution treated aluminum alloy 2024. Non-isothermal annealing is performed up to temperatures of 380 °C and 450 °C at heating rates of 10, 100 and 200 K·min− 1 using a Gleeble 3800 thermo-mechanical simulator. In order to investigate the microstructure, field emission gun scanning electron microscope (FEG-SEM) equipped with electron backscatter diffractometer (EBSD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) are utilized. The results show that the heating rate has a significant effect on the PSN and...
