Highlights: • Recrystallization texture evolution in CC and DC 3003 aluminum alloys was investigated. • A huge difference in recrystallization texture exists between CC and DC AA 3003 alloys. • Concurrent precipitation enhanced the recrystallization activation energy of CC AA 3003 alloy. - Abstract: The evolution of recrystallization texture in cold-rolled CC and DC AA 3003 aluminum alloys was investigated by X-ray diffraction. The results show that a significant difference in recrystallization texture exists between the CC and DC AA 3003 alloys due to the effect of concurrent precipitation. For the CC AA 3003 alloy, low-temperature annealing of cold-rolled sheets results in very strong M and P recrystallization textures. The strength of the M and P recrystallization textures decrease significantly with increasing annealing temperature. For the DC AA 3003 alloy, the recrystallization texture consists of a major cube component and two minor R and Goss components after annealing at low temperatures. The cube, R and Goss recrystallization textures weaken with increasing annealing temperature. The transformation kinetics of recrystallization texture during isothermal annealing can be well described by the JMAK equation. For the CC AA 3003 alloy the n value decreases from about 2.9 to about 0.8 as the annealing temperature increases from 371 °C to 427 °C, while the n value is around 1.5 for the DC AA 3003 alloy. The apparent activation energy for recrystallization of the cold-rolled CC AA 3003 alloy is significantly higher than that of the cold-rolled DC AA 3003 alloy.
