A simulation of texture development in f.c.c. metals

A simulation of the development of rolling texture in f.c.c. polycrystals has been performed, assuming that the deformation mechanism is multiple {111} 〈110〉 slip. The predicted crystallite orientation distribution functions for 40% and 80% reduction are in fair agreement with the experimentally determined texture of cold rolled copper. If deformation twinning is included as an additional deformation mode, following a simple strain accommodation criterion for twinning, a satisfactory agreement with the experimentally determined texture of cold-rolled copper-10% zinc is obtained.
