Abstract

The cold rolling texture evolution under different strain states caused by coupled effects from different combinations of roll gap geometry and friction in pure titanium with initial typical recrystallized texture has been studied using viscoplastic self-consistent simulations. Under plane strain state, the texture is dominated by a typical cold rolling fiber texture RD//<1010> in pure titanium. However, when shear deformation is induced and increased, RD//<1010> fiber texture is decreased, whereas basal texture (0001)[1010] is increased and a strong partial fiber texture RD//<2110> is formed. The variation of cold rolling texture at different strain states can be ascribed to variation of relative contribution from activation of prismatic, basal and pyramidal slip.
