RECRYSTALLIZATION TEXTURE INCOLD ROLLED Cu 30mass%Zn BRASS HEATED BY LASER BEAM

Heating rate playsanimportantroleon recrystallizationtextureofcold deformed metals.Inthispaper,thelaser heatingtechnique wasusedtotheultrarapidlyannealingon acold rolledCu 30 mass% Zn alloy. The experimental resultsshow thatthe texture development differs from those observed in the case of conventional annealing. When primary recrystallization completes,the grainsizeisvery fineandthegrain orientation distributionisalmostrandom . Withthecontinuousgrain growing,the dispersioncharacterofthegrainorientationsstillre mains. The possible mechanismson theevolution of ultrarapid recryctallization texture were discussed.
