Abstract:The simulation of rolling texture with “minimum shear principle” and the strengthening of cube recrystallization texture by inhomogeneous rolling, low strain deformation and multistage annealing, of the formation and evolution of texture in high purity Al were presented. The plastic anisotropy of crystalline materials were also summarized, including determination of the co-yield surfaces and condition of slipping as well as mechanical twinning, prediction of plastic anisotropy of deep drawing with modified Tucker’s method, evolution of earing behavior of Al alloy sheets for deep drawing with CMTP approach, and construction of texture balance design and some technologies to suppress plastic anisotropy in practical production.

Key words: recrystallization texture; deformation texture;oriented grain growth; plastic anisotropy
