Annealing textures for drawability: Influence of the degree of cold rolling reduction for low-carbon and extra low-carbon ferritic steels
This work considers the optimization of deep drawing properties by studying the influence of hot rolling conditions, cold reduction rate, and final annealing on the evolution of steel sheet textures. Two steels have been selected: a low-C steel used for enameling applications, and an extra-low-C steel of the interstitial-free type. Results show that the intensity of {l{underscore}brace}111{r{underscore}brace} component--and, consequently, drawability--is considerably higher in the textures of cold-rolled and annealed sheets than in hot-rolled sheets. It is suggested that drawability of sheets annealed after cold rolling improves if greater than conventional reduction rates are used during rolling. Finally, it is shown that, contrary to what has sometimes been claimed, improved of the ``r'' coefficient are not accompanied by a pancake morphology of the ferrite grains.
