On the Rolling Texture Reversal in Fcc Metals

As all factors governing the process of the development of texture are strongly dependent on stacking fault energy, a marked influence ofSFE on the wire texture and rolling texture characteristics should be expected. This relationship has been established for wires by English and Chin. Using their own experimental data, as well as those from literature, they plotted the amount of (100) wire texture component against v/Gb, being SFE, G the shear modulus, and b the Burgers vector, as shown in Figure 1. The most important conclusion drawn by the authors from this relationship is that the general trend toward larger proportions of (100) with reduced SFE is reversed for the lowest values of v/Gb. At the same time they come to the con
