Abstract—This research studies the effect of cold deformation on the texture evolution of Ti6Al4V alloy. To study this, Alloy is deformed at room temperature with low strain rate of 0.01 s-1 and increase in 5% stage of deformation. Flow curve and texture evolution were correlated with each other at each stage of deformation. Texture evolution was measured at each stage of deformation with the help of Electron Back-Scattered Diffraction (EBSD) technique. Grain fragmentation affects the texture pattern and texture intensity. EBSD mapping confirms the strong basal texture evolution and the effect of grain fragmentation on basal texture intensity during increasing deformation.
Index Terms—Ti-6Al-4V, cold deformation, electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), texture.
