Modeling of Deformation and Texture Development of Copper in a 120° ECAE Die
A flow line function is proposed to describe the material deformation in ECAE
for a 120\degree die. This new analytical approach is incorporated into a
viscoplastic self-consistent polycrystal code to simulate the texture evolution
in Route A of copper and compared to experimental textures as well as to those
corresponding to simple shear
Evolution of texture during equal channel angular extrusion of commercially pure aluminum: Experiments and simulations
The evolution of crystallographic texture has been comprehensively studied for commercially pure Al as a function of amount of ECAE deformation for the three major routes of ECAE processing. It has been observed that processing through different routes leads to different type of texture, in both qualitative as well as quantitative sense. The results have been analyzed on the basis of existing concepts on ECAE deformation and simulations have been carried out using the simple shear model of ECAE implemented into the Viscoplastic Self Consistent model of polycrystal plasticity. The simulations revealed that non-octahedral slip is needed to reproduce the experimental texture development
