Abstract

In the development of an optimized hot rolling process for a Cu-Al-Ni-Mn sheet alloy, the effects of the recrystallization texture on ductility and shape memory recovery were examined. The texture of samples rolled in the β phase region (750 °C) was characterized by martensitic (128) poles along the normal direction and (0018) poles inclined 60° from the normal to the rolling direction. The texture of samples rolled in the α+β region (600 °C) was slightly stronger but less symmetric. The shape memory recovery was more or less isotropic in the rolling plane, independent of the rolling conditions. However, improved bend ductility of 9.5% was observed along the rolling direction in specimens rolled at 750 °C with a reduction per pass of 27%.
