The development of recrystallization textures in cold rolled copper has been characterized using an electron backscatter pattern (EBSP) technique. Cube oriented grains exist in materials that have been annealed after a series of rolling strains, between 1.0 and 4.5 (von Mises strain). The strength and sharpness of these cube textures increases with increasing strain thus replacing the random texture produced by recrystallization of moderately deformed copper. The preferential formation of the cube, texture is attributed to the homogenization of stored energy gradients adjacent to randomly oriented nucleation sites. This process, coupled with the development of the microstructure adjacent to deformed cube sites, favors nucleation and growth of cube grains over randomly oriented grains.
