The formation and development of the recrystallized cubic texture of
high-purity aluminium foils in the presence of different
cold-rolling lubricants were studied and analysed using ODF and SEM-EBSD. The experimental Results showed that the recrystallized textures of
high-purity aluminium foils consisted mainly of very strong cubic components and weak R-components. However, the sample obtained by cold rolling with kerosene as lubricant had much stronger cubic texture than with machine oil as lubricant. The formation and development of the recrystallized cubic texture were affected by the inhomogeneity of the deformation structure and microstructure during cold rolling. In the sample obtained by cold rolling with kerosene as lubricant, there were many inhomogenous deformation textures——shear bands, which have quantities of cubically-oriented structures. The structures provided the conditions for nucleis formation and intensified the recrystallized cubic structures. However, no shear band and no cubically-oriented structure were almost observed in the sample obtained by cold rolling with machine oil as lubricant due to its uniform deformation. This indicated that the formation and development of recrystallized cubic texture are affected and controlled directly by the rolling deformation textures and the cubically-orieated textures of the shear bands.
