O. Engler et al., EFFECT OF PRETREATMENT AND TEXTURE ON RECOVERY AND RECRYSTALLIZATION IN AL-4.5MG-0.7MN ALLOY, Materials science and technology, 10(9), 1994, pp. 771-781
The development of recovery and recrystallisation in cold rolled Al-4.
5 Mg-0.7 Mn (designated AA 5083) was analysed metallographically, by m
easuring hardness and electrical conductivity, and by means of texture
analysis. The precipitation state and the initial texture were varied
using appropriate pretreatments before cold rolling in order to study
the influence of these parameters on kinetics and texture evolution d
uring deformation, recovery, and recrystallisation. Finally, the resul
ts obtained were compared with those obtained for conventionally produ
ced material.
