Influence of precipitation on recrystallization texture of AA3104 aluminum alloy

The development of the recrystallization texture of the alloy AA3104 was investigated by analysis of orientation distribution functions determined by X-ray diffraction,supported by EBSD local texture analysis.A typical β-fiber with nearly 20%Bs orientation {011}211 was detected in the final hot rolled sheet.At the beginning of annealing at 350 ℃,the cube component{001}100 got a sharp increase.TEM results show that the growth of both number and size of precipitation appears to inhibit the advantage of Cube orientation {001}100 notably after annealing at 350 ℃ for 15 min.Finally,it comes out to be a random distributed orientation by full recry stallization.
