Evolution of cold rolling texture in the binary alloys: Ti–0.4Mn and Ti–1.8Mn

This work describes the evolution of texture during cold rolling of the titanium alloys Ti–0.4Mn and Ti–1.8Mn. The development of the cold rolling textures has been examined from 5 to 75% reduction. In order to compare the effect of different deformation modes on texture formation, two specimens of each alloy were subjected to 75% reduction by multi-step cross and reverse rolling. The rolling textures obtained in this study are compared with those of pure titanium and other titanium alloys in the literature.
