Effect of Annealing on the Microstructure, Texture and Tensile Deformation Properties of Cu–3 wt%Ag–0.5 wt%Zr Thin Sheets Rolled at Room and Cryogenic Temperature

The Cu–3 wt%Ag–0.5 wt%Zr are rolled with the same reduction process at room (RT) and cryogenic (CT) temperature, respectively. The electron backscatter diffraction and transmission electron microscope are used to analyze and compare the evolutions of material microstructure and texture. The results show that the stability of as-rolled CT sheets is different from that of the RT samples, which can be verified by the lower temperature for the...
