Application of a texture parameter model to study planar anisotropy of rolled steel sheets

摘要

A new model for texture characterization in steel sheets has recently been developed. The model makes use of 25 parameters defined in the orientation distribution function (ODF). Experimental textures consisting of the alpha and gamma fibres and/or the Goss and cube components can be reproduced. The model is briefly described. Then, it is shown how industrial steel sheet texture can be optimized with regard to planar anisotropy and formability. The latter study relies on the generation of a series of ODFs which have characteristic differences compared to the given experimental ODE The r-value profiles are predicted for each of the generated textures using the Taylor theory.
