Characteristic of textures evolution induced by equal channel angular pressing in 6061 aluminum sheets

Abstract

Texture evolution induced by a unique ECAP process was investigated as a function of deformation. The results revealed that the rotated cube {011}(110) will form at relatively low strain (similar to50%) and will be gone completely at severe deformation in contrast to the appearance of the final stable component of {112}(110).
