EBSD study on crystallographic texture and microstructure development of cold-rolled FePd alloy

The crystallographic texture and microstructure of FePd alloy after cold-rolling deformation were investigated using electron backscatter diffraction. The major orientations of twin copper and copper after 50% thickness reduction were observed in face-centered cubic-disordered FePd alloy, whereas the main orientation was obtained from brass type after 90% cold rolling. Increase in cold rolling resulted in the change of preferred orientation from copper to brass. Decrease in orientation intensity of copper also increased that of Goss and brass. •The evolution of texture and microstructure in FePd alloy was investigated after cold rolling using EBSD.•Increasing in reduction leads to the change of texture from Copper-type to Brass-type.•The reduction of Copper orientation results in increasing in Goss and Brass orientations.
