Microstructure and Texture Development in Pure Ta Sheets Processed by Conventional Rolling and Cross Roll Rolling

摘要

To evaluate the effect of rolling process on microstructures and textures development, this work was carried out using pure Ta sheets. For this work, conventional rolling (CR) and cross roll rolling (CRR) as a deformation process were introduced, pure Ta sheets were cold rolled to 90% in thickness reduction. After this, to obtain the recrystallized microstructure on cold rolled materials, the recrystallization heat-treatment was performed at 1200℃ for 60 min under the high vacuum state. Also, to analyse the grain boundary character distributions of the annealed sheets, electron back-scattered diffraction method was introduced. As an experimental result, increase in strain rate led to the development of texture with its texture component of <111> at conventional rolling and cross roll rolling, in common. Therefore, in this study, we systematically discussed the texture development due to increase in effective strain.
