On Texture Formation at Cold Rolling of Mn-Cu Alloys

The texture formation in quenched γ-phase Mn-Cu alloys at cold rolling have been studied. It was found that the final texture in martensitic Mn-10% Cu alloy consists of nearly equal volume of {001}〈100〉 and {112}〈111 〉 texture components. A sharper {101}〈1 21〉 component in small amounts can be present too. In austenitic Mn-22% Cu alloy the {112}〈111 〉 component is more scattered and weakened, and the strong {101}〈1 21〉 component has formed. In the Mn-30% Cu alloy the {001}〈100〉 component is almost absent, {112}〈111 〉 is very weak and the {101}〈1 21〉 texture is dominated.
