Electron backscatter diffractometry demonstrates that the deformation during rolling is accommodated by twinning and slip. Additionally, twinning is the dominant deformation mechanism when the cold rolling reduction is less than 40%. During rolling, {11ˉ22}11ˉ2ˉ3contraction twinning(CT) and {10ˉ12}10ˉ11 extension twinning(ET) are activated. And, the intensity of the(0002) pole along the ND gradually increases with increasing deformation. During annealing, the fraction of low angle grain boundaries(LAGBs) and the intensity of the(0002) pole along the ND gradually decrease slightly with increasing annealing time, while twinning lamellae disappear rapidly. When the annealing time reaches 60 min, 20% cold-rolled sheet recrystallizes almost completely.展开更多
