Title: Orientation-dependent stored energies in hot deformed Al-2.5%Mg and their influence on recrystallization

Journal Article · · Acta Materialia

The dislocation densities in individual texture components of a hot, plane strain compressed, Al-2.5%Mg alloy have been determined by high resolution X-ray diffraction using recent methods for peak broadening interpretation. After deformation at 400 deg. C and strains up to 1.5 dislocation densities range from 2 to 20 x 10{sup 13} m{sup -2}. Both high energy synchrotron (European synchrotron radiation facility, ESRF) transmission peak analysis and standard reflection line analysis show that the S {l_brace}1 2 3{r_brace}<4 1 2> component develops significantly higher stored energies than the cube, brass {l_brace}0 1 1{r_brace}<2 1 1> and Goss {l_brace}0 1 1{r_brace}<1 0 0> components. After subsequent annealing to partial recrystallization, EBSD orientation maps over large areas demonstrate that the high energy S component is preferentially consumed by recrystallization. It is also shown that the development of the cube recrystallization texture is due to a nucleation frequency advantage, function of the applied strain.
