Temperature Dependence of Rolling Textures in High-Purity Silver

Abstract

A rolling texture transition from the (110) [1̄12] common silver type to the (123) [4̄1̄2] copper type was produced in high‐purity silver by changing the temperature of deformation. The texture determined at 0°C for a strip rolled at 0°C was a simple (110) [1̄12]. Rolling at 200°C produced a texture of the (123) [4̄1̄2] type, plus a cube texture component due to partial recrystallization. Our results also suggest that the relatively high oxygen content in common silver is probably not responsible for the formation of the (110) [1̄12] texture. The change in texture from one type to the other in high‐purity silver can be obtained by merely varying the rolling temperatures.
