Effect of cold deformation on the recrystallization behavior of FePd alloy at the ordering temperature using electron backscatter diffraction

In this study, the evolution of the recrystallization texture and microstructure was investigated after annealing of 50% and 90% cold-rolled FePd alloy at 530°C. The FePd alloy was produced by vacuum arc melting in an atmosphere of 97% Ar and 3% H2. The specimens were cold rolled to achieve 50% and 90% reduction in thickness. Electron backscatter diffraction measurements were performed on the rolling direction–normal direction section. With increased deformation from 50% to 90%, recrystallized texture transition occurs. For the 50% cold-rolled alloy, the preferred orientation is (0 1 0) [11 0 1], which is close to the cubic orientation after 400h of annealing. For the 90% cold-rolled alloy, the orientation changes to (0 5 4) [22–4 5] after 16h of annealing. •Texture and microstructure in cold-rolled FePd alloy was investigated during annealing using EBSD.•The recrystallized texture of 50% cold-rolled FePd is (0 1 0) [11 0 1] at 530°C for 400 hours.•The recrystallized texture of 90% cold-rolled FePd is changed to (0 5 4) [22–4 5] at 530°C after 16hours.
