Effect of Pre-recovery on Recrystallization Texture in Nickel Substrates for Coated Conductors

摘要

Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) technology was applied to study the effect of pre-recovery on the recrystallization texture in nickel substrates for coated conductors. Pure nickel (99.999%) was cold rolled by a 95% total reduction, and then samples were annealed at 200 °C for 1 hour and quenched for fully recovery, and finally annealed at 600 °C for 1 hour and quenched in water. The results show that pre-recovery had a strong influence on the formation of cube recrystallization texture. Compared with samples without pre-recovery treatment at 200 °C, samples through pre-recovery treatment can achieve stronger cube texture after recrystallization annealing, and develop more low-angle grain boundaries but less sigma 3 (∑3) grain boundaries.
