Abstract
The development of the cold rolling and recrystallisation textures in Ti-Nb bearing interstitial free (IF) steel was investigated, with the aid of orientation distribution function (ODF) analysis, for various processing parameters. The texture change during annealing was explained by using a model in which the absolute maximum principal stress direction in deformed grains becomes the minimum elastic modulus direction in recrystallised grains. The orientation relationships predicted from the model are equivalent to rotations about a common 〈110〉 axis which is invariant during annealing, and further, related to the coincidence site lattice (CSL).
