Abstract
The recrystallization behavior and texture of continuous cast (CC) and direct chill (DC) cast AA 5052 aluminum alloy were investigated. Evolution of recrystallization texture in the CC and DC materials was investigated by using three-dimensional orientation distribution functions (ODFs) that were determined by X-ray diffraction. The electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique was adopted to study the microtexture through the thickness. Results showed that the R and Cube orientations are the dominant recrystallization texture components in both CC and DC materials. Stronger Cube and R orientations are found at the surface layer than at the half-thickness layer of cold rolled hot bands after annealing.
