Effects of cross-rolling on residual stress, texture and plastic anisotropy in f.c.c. and b.c.c. metals

The results of crystallographic textures and residual stress measurement in cross-rolled low carbon ferrite steel and polycrystalline copper of commercial purity are presented. It was found that cross-rolling significantly modifies crystallographic texture, residual stresses, and finally the plastic strain anisotropy. The cross-rolling provides a tool to modify the final properties of the material.
