Substructure development in cold rolled copper single crystals

Copper single crystals oriented for multislip conditions were cold rolled up to 90% reduction in thickness in order to investigate the substructure development. Both the development of the total dislocation density and the excess dislocation density connected to the disorientation were estimated by high resolution X-ray diffractometry and additionally the disorientation development by taking electron backscattering patterns (EBSP).
