Textures and anisotropy
Hardening of aluminum alloys

Large plastic deformations lead to the formation of crystallographic and morphological textures, which influence the subsequent mechanical (or physico-chemical) behavior of the material. In addition to their well-known influences on elastic and plastic anisotropies, these deformation textures also play a role in the development of microstructures, behavior laws, ductility and annealing textures.

The general problems of texture and anisotropy in crystalline materials are presented in numerous works including, for example, the books by Bunge [34] , Kocks et al [35] and the proceedings of the ICOTOM 1 to 10 international conference series. The recent review by Bunge and Esling [M 605]...
