Accomodation of deformation in rolled Aluminium

The current as well as the future industrial market for Aluminium (Al) is huge and various research is being under work regarding the usability of Aluminium. However, during the deep drawing of Aluminium several issues can be developed and some of them are originated from the fundamental material properties. One of these factors is the material texture, which is the preferred orientation of the constituent polycrystalline Al, and the characteristic texture is affected by different rolling and annealing schedules. To investigate the material texture, symmetric and asymmetric rolling trials were performed on a commercially available Al 1050 sample. Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), and Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) scanning has performed to determine the material composition and the crystallographic orientations of the investigated samples.
