Effect of accumulative strain on texture evolution in 1050 Al alloys processed by continuous confined strip shearing

The effect of the accumulative strain on texture evolutions in 1050 aluminum alloy processed by dissimilar channel angular pressing (DCAP) was investigated. Very high plastic strain (εeff ∼ 19) were imparted into the materials via multiple passages (N = 32) through the DCAP die. The intensities of the texture components after DCAP depended on the accumulative strain for low applied strain (εeff < 5.8). For higher strain (εeff > 5.8), there was no significant change in intensity.
