On Texture Formation at Cold Rolling of Mn‐Cu Alloys

The texture formation in quenched γ‐phase Mn‐Cu alloys at cold rolling have been studied. It was found that the final texture in martensitic Mn‐10% Cu alloy consists of nearly equal volume of {001}〈100〉 and {112}〈11 1 〉 texture components. A sharper {101}〈 1 21〉 component in small amounts can be present too. In austenitic Mn‐22% Cu alloy the {112}〈11 1 〉 component is more scattered and weakened, and the strong {101}〈 1 21〉 component has formed. In the Mn‐30% Cu alloy the {001}〈100〉 component is almost absent, {112}〈11 1 〉 is very weak and the {101}〈 1 21〉 texture is dominated.
