Description
Summary:Aluminum alloys are widely used in transportation industries due to their excellent specific strength, stiffness, and formability. Modifying the texture of aluminum alloys can further enhance their mechanical properties. This study explores the hot deformation behavior of high-purity aluminum single crystals (ASCs) with Brass and Goss orientations. We examine the influence of crystal orientation on deformation mechanisms and establish hot processing maps to identify optimal conditions for microstructural evolution. The results highlight the distinct behaviors of Goss- and Brass-oriented ASCs, with Goss exhibiting greater dynamic recrystallization potential and Brass showing higher strain rate sensitivity at elevated temperatures.
