Texture comparison of an ordinary IF steel and a high-strength IF steel under ferritic rolling and high-temperature coiling

The present work was performed to investigate the texture difference of an ordinary Ti-IF steel and a high-strength Ti-IF steel under ferritic hot rolling and high-temperature coiling. Comparing with the completely recrystallized textures of the ordinary IF steel, the textures of the high-strength IF steel were still deformed textures. The texture difference for the two steels is related to high P content in the high-strength IF steel which prevents the recrystallization during the coiling process. For the ordinary IF steel, the texture components were mainly very weak {001}110 orientation at the surface, and partial 110//RD (rolling direction) textures focused on {223}110 orientation and 111/ND (normal direction) texture at the mid-section and 1/4-section. For the high-strength IF steel, the texture components were mainly of {110}001 orientation at the surface and of a sharp 110//RD texture from {001}110 to {223}110 and weak 111/ND texture at the mid-section and 1/4-section.     

Through-thickness texture gradient in AA 7055 aluminum alloy

Through-thickness texture gradient in AA 7055 aluminum alloy rolled plate has been investigated using the electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) technique. Quantitative analyses of texture in five layers from the surface to the center of the plate were performed. A pronounced texture variation through the plate thickness was found. In the center layer, a typical β fiber texture running from {112} <111> orientation through {123} <634> orientation to {011} <211> orientation was found. Near the surface, in contrast, shear type textures including {001} <110> orientation, {112} <110> orientation and {111} <110> orientation were dominating. In particularly, when the shear type textures reached the maximum in both intensity and content, the β fiber became minimums.     

Local versus global contrasts in texture segregation

In a texture pair (TP) yielding a vertical or horizontal edge, the local (luminance or color) contrast or the local orientation of the individual textels is traded off with the global strength of the luminance-, color-, or orientation-defined TP edge so as to keep the latter at the detection threshold. Local and global contrasts are defined along the same (within-domain conditions) or along distinct physical dimensions (transdomain conditions). In the latter case local luminance or color contrast is traded off against global orientation. In all cases TP's are presented for 66.7 or 333.3 ms. Textels differ from the background in either luminance or color so that the TP's are respectively equichromatic or equiluminant. TP edge strength is modulated by means of swapping variable proportions of textels between the two textures in the TP. The observed local--global relationships are fitted with a version of the equivalent noise model for contrast coding modified to include the presentation time factor. The extension of the standard model in the time domain is meant to allow comparison between equivalent noise estimates for variable duration stimuli. Model fits of the within-domain data yield equivalent noise energy values significantly different for color- and luminance-defined TP's but are not applicable for the transdomain experiments, which indicates that global orientation processing is independent of both local luminance and local color contrast insofar as the latter are above the detection threshold. Finally, this study points to the equivalence among the local--global, the equivalent noise, and the statistical approaches to texture segregation.     

Texture evolution in two phase Zr – 2.5 wt-%Nb through modified route

Abstract

Two phase Zr – 2.5 wt-%Nb is used as pressure tube material in water cooled and moderated reactors. The in service behaviour of this hcp zirconium based alloy is dependent on strong textures developed during thermomechanical processing. In the present study, the texture evolution during fabrication of this material, using a modified route, was investigated. Texture, evaluated by the orientation distribution function, was correlated to microstructure during various stages of processing. It was observed that a strong orientation fibre parallel to the working direction develops with hot working (extrusion). With subsequent cold working, the texture formed after extrusion alone becomes strengthened. This observation is attributed to the presence of a soft secondary phase (β) at the α-phase grain boundary. In contrast to the above, in the case of single phase Zircaloy 4, new components of texture are generated with cold deformation after hot extrusion, as a result of interaction between grains.     

Detection and discrimination of texture modulations defined by orientation,spatial frequency,and contrast

We sought to determine whether the detection and the identification of texture modulations are mediated by a common mechanism. On each trial two textures were presented, one of which contained a modulation in orientation (OM), spatial frequency (FM), or contrast (CM). Observers were required to indicate whether the modulated texture was presented in the first or the second interval as well as the nature of the texture modulation. The results showed that for two of the three pairwise matchings (OM-FM and OM-CM) detection and identification performance were nearly identical, suggesting a common underlying mechanism. However, when FM and CM textures were paired, discrimination thresholds were significantly higher than detection thresholds. In the context of the filter-rectify-filter model of texture perception, our results suggest that the mechanisms underlying detection are labeled with respect to their first-order input; i.e., the identities of these mechanisms are available to higher levels of processing. Several possible explanations for the misidentification of FM and CM at detection threshold are considered.     

Contour into texture: information content of surface contours and texture flow

Both surface contours and texture patterns can provide strong cues to the three-dimensional shape of a surface in space. Many of the most perceptually salient texture patterns have a strong flowlike structure, resulting from the directional nature of the surface textures from which they project. Under the minimal assumption that an oriented surface texture is homogeneous, the texture flow on a developable surface can be shown to follow parallel geodesics of the surface. The geometry of texture flow is therefore equivalent to that of an important class of surface contours: those that project from parallel geodesics of a developable surface. I derive a set of differential equations that support the estimation of surface shape from geodesic surface contours under spherical perspective, for both parallel and nonparallel contours. For perfectly oriented textures, the equations apply directly to the integrated flow lines in a texture image. For weakly oriented textures, perspective projection distorts the projected orientation of flow lines away from the idealized case of pure contours; however, simulations show that for a large class of textures, these distortions will be small and limited largely to extreme surface poses. The geometrical analysis, along with a number of phenomenal demonstrations and psychophysical results, suggests that the human visual system co-opts shape from contour mechanisms to estimate surface shape from texture flow.

Starry night: a texture devoid of depth cues

From a modern Bayesian point of view, the classic Julesz random-dot stereogram is a cue-conflict stimulus: Texture cues specify an unbroken, unslanted surface, in conflict with any variation in depth specified by binocular disparity. We introduce a new visual texture-the starry night texture (SNT)--that is incapable of conveying slant, depth edges, or texture boundaries, in a single view. For SNT, changing density is equivalent to changing intensity, so an instance of the texture is characterized (up to the random locations of the texture elements) by what we call its densintensity. We consider deviations from the ideal that are needed to realize the texture in practice. In three experiments with computer-generated stimuli we examined human perception of SNT to show that (1) the deviations from the ideal that were needed to realize SNT do not affect the invariance of its appearance across changes in distance of several orders of magnitude; (2) as predicted, observers match SNT across changes in distance better than other textures; and (3) the use of SNT in a slant perception experiment did not reliably increase observers' reliance on stereoscopic slant cues, as compared with the sparse random-dot displays that have been commonly employed to study human perception of shape from binocular disparity and motion.

为研究GH4169合金楔横轧加工过程中动态再结晶及织构演变规律,采用金相显微镜(OM)和电子背散射衍射(EBSD)对30%,50%两种断面收缩率下GH4169合金楔横轧件表层与心部的微观组织、晶体取向及织构进行分析。结果表明:GH4169合金楔横轧加工过程中,随着动态再结晶的发生,晶体取向逐渐变得随机化分布;轧制表层大角度晶界数量较轧件心部多,轧件表层织构强度变化不大,心部织构强度明显增强;经过楔横轧变形后织构发生转动,原始态织构类型为{001}〈110〉,{111}〈110〉,{111}〈011〉,轧制后主要织构类型为{001}〈010〉,{112}〈110〉,{110}〈111〉,{110}〈112〉;GH4169合金楔横轧件动态再结晶及织构演变规律是由楔横轧特殊变形特点决定的。

Texture evolution in Copper film at high temperature studied in situ by electron back-scatter diffraction

Changes in texture and microstructure during the thermal treatment of Cu films have been studied in situ using electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD). A partially recrystallized Cu film which still had its microstructure evolving at room temperature was investigated using orientation imaging microscopy. Two separate investigations were conducted—the first one at different locations of the film and at different temperatures and a second one at the same location of the film and at different temperatures. The orientation of the (111), (110) and (100) grains within the plane of Cu film was investigated from the orientation distribution functions. There was an increased tendency of the (111) and (110) grains to form either {111}<112> or {111}<110> and {110}<100> texture respectively at higher temperature. The impact of elastic strain energies and dislocation glide in formation of these textures at higher temperatures has been analyzed in the light of some recent observations reported in literature. The variation in the area fraction of different fiber texture components, as a function of temperature, has been discussed in correlation with the measured mean grain size, grain boundary misorientation distribution and stress states. Stress state during the entire thermal cycle was monitored by wafer curvature technique and the traces of additive impurities at the surface were measured using X-ray photoelectron spectrometry. The possible role of impurities in affecting the behavior of texture components at high temperature is discussed. Comparison was made between the EBSD and X-ray diffraction texture data.     

Texture development in cold rolled and annealed C-Mn-Si and C-Mn-Al-Si TRIP steels

Abstract

The texture of two transformation induced plasticity steels has been studied by means of crystallographic orientation mapping. Texture measurements were carried out on ferrite, bainite, and austenite. The polygonal ferrite and the bainite texture, both bcc, could be distinguished based on the image quality parameter of the electron backscattering diffraction measurement. Both bcc textures were very similar, the main difference being the more pronounced 111alpha ND ND=normal direction and 110alpha RD RD=rolling direction fibre textures in the polygonal ferrite. The fcc texture was a strong gamma deformation texture, characterised by the beta fibre. The presence of the alpha fibre confirmed the strong 110gamma ND direction, which was previously detected by means of X ray diffraction XRD. The measured fcc and bcc textures were used to calculate orientation distribution function transformations according the Bain, Kurdjumov-Sachs, and Nishiyama-Wasserman orientation relationships. The predicted cube component {001}gamma 100gamma, which was missing in the measured texture, of gammaret indicates a variant selection for the gammaalphaB transformation. In addition it was shown that crystallographic orientation mapping could be used to make reliable phase fraction determinations, which were previously based on the light optical microscopy of colour etched specimens. This also proves that XRD determination of gammaret is flawed owing to the strong texturing of all phases present in the microstructure.     

化学气相沉积与渗透过程中热解炭织态结构生成机理研究

为研究热解炭织态结构的生成规律，采用不同压强的甲烷为碳源，在1100℃条件下进行了化学气相沉积和化学气相渗透实验。化学气相沉积以具有不同表面积／自由体积比（[A／V]值）的直通方形多孔陶瓷为基体；化学气相渗透实验在直径为1mm细直孔内表面沉积和对炭纤维体积分数为7％的炭毡进行致密化。借助正交偏光显微镜（消光角）和透射电子显微镜（定向角）对在不同实验条件下制备的热解炭进行分析和定量表征。研究发现：热解炭的织态结构可以在两种不同的沉积条件下形成。当甲烷压强较低时为化学生长阶段；当甲烷压强较高时为物理形核阶段。在化学生长控制阶段，热解炭的织态结构可以利用之前提出的“颗粒填充模型（P-F模型）”加以解释。该模型假设高织构热解炭的沉积一定对应于气相中存在具有合适比例的芳香化合物（例如苯）和线性小分子（主要是C2H2），当二者的浓度比偏离该最优比（或者偏大，或者偏小），均将导致中织构甚至低织构热解炭的生成。在化学生成控制阶段，化学气相沉积和化学气相渗透对热解炭织态结构影响的差别，除了[A／V]值而外，还有氢气的作用。在化学气相渗透过程中，基体内部生成的氢气快速扩散至基体表面，使内外沉积速率和织态结构均发生较大变化。     

The influence of the crystallite orientation distribution function (ODF) on the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of a rimmed steel thin sheet

The aim of this study is to relate the magnetocrystalline anisotropy at saturation to the texture function for a low-carbon steel. The texture has been calculated by expanding the direct pole figures as a series of spherical harmonics. This quantitative determination of textures permits one to calculate a theoretical curve of the variations of the torque in the rolling plane. These calculations are compared with the experimental curve.

Psychophysical evidence for global feature processing in visual texture discrimination.

By defining texture as a global feature attained by integration over the image domain, we show that texture discrimination can be predicted for a special class of visual textures (composed of paired dots) as a function of such global features. We derive a psychophysical law based on these global features and show that differences in the variance of orientation, but not of dipole length, result in texture discrimination.     

Texture evolution of transition-metal nitride thin films by ion beam assisted deposition

TiN, VN and CrN were systematically deposited on silicon substrates using ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) technique at temperatures and ion (N₂⁺) energy ranging from 300 °C to 500 °C and 100 eV to 650 eV, respectively. The results showed that the texture could be controlled by the ion beam energy, flux, and its incident angle, in conjunction with the deposition temperature. For the 0° angle of ion incidence, fiber textures were formed and could be controlled between (111) and (200) surface plane orientation by adjusting ion flux or ion energy. Three types of in-plane textures were produced, when the ion beam was incident at 45° angle, for which cases ion channeling played an important role in the formation of in-plane texture. Using the strain-energy perturbation method, the stability of texture can be further understood. Among the three in-plane textures, the (200) in-plane texture is strain-energy stable, and the others are not.

Texture competition during thin film deposition – effects of grain boundary migration

In this paper, we describe an implementation of grain boundary migration in the atomistic simulator of thin film deposition (ADEPT), and apply the simulator to study effects of the grain boundary migration on texture evolution. In the implementation, atoms are classified into two categories: those belong to a single grain and those at grain boundaries. An atom is defined as one at a grain boundary if it has more than half of its neighbors occupied and not all of the neighboring atoms are in the same grain. The grain boundary atom is attempted to re-align with neighboring grains to represent the grain boundary migration; the attempt probability is defined by the grain boundary migration coefficient. Our studies show that grain boundary migration does not always assist formation of texture with a top surface of the lowest energy. At the nucleation stage of thin film deposition, high migration coefficient of grain boundaries may enhance the formation of grain nuclei with top surfaces of higher energy, and therefore effectively may suppress formation of textures with a top surface of the lowest energy. This effect may provide an extra dimension to engineer textures of thin films.     

滑动摩擦副表面变织构的润滑与承载特性研究

织构化滑动摩擦副表面织构的排布方式、尺寸和形状是决定其压力分布和承载力的关键因素。为改善织构化滑动摩擦副表面的润滑与承载特性,提出了一种变织构（尺寸多样的织构）结构。以球冠形织构为研究对象,建立不同排布方式的单一尺寸织构及方形排布变织构的CFD （computational fluid dynamics,计算流体力学）仿真模型,分析了排布方式不同的单一尺寸织构表面的压力分布和承载力;在此基础上,研究了半径两端小中间大（A型）、半径两端大中间小（B型）、深度两端浅中间深（C型）及深度两端深中间浅（D型）等4类方形排布变织构表面的压力分布和承载力。结果表明：方形排布的单一尺寸织构的润滑性能最强且承载力最大,随着错位角的增大,织构间的协同润滑作用减弱,承载力减小;单一尺寸织构的压力分布曲线为周期性波动曲线,由多个单织构的压力分布曲线叠加而成,而方形排布变织构因前后织构的协同润滑作用而导致其压力分布曲线的趋势线近似呈正弦或余弦规律波动;在4类方形排布变织构中,B型变织构的承载力大于A型,D型大于C型,说明两端织构的半径越大、深度越深或该类织构的占比越大,则变织构的承载力越大。由此可见,合适的变织构比单一尺寸织构更有助于提升摩擦副表面的润滑与承载性能。
