Simulated Nucleation Textures of Recrystallization during Multiple Pass Hot Rolling of Aluminium Alloys

A combination of several physically based models is used to simulate the development of crystallographic texture during deformation and recrystallization in multiple pass hot rolling of a commercial aluminium alloy. Streamlines containing deformation data (e.g. strain rates, displacement gradients) were used to calculate the evolution of material properties during deformation with a dislocation density based flow stress model and a Taylor type deformation texture model which accounts for grain interaction. The texture development during the interpass time was modelled by an analytical recrystallisation model. [Material: AA3103.]
