Texture evolution of the Mg/Al laminated composite fabricated by the accumulative roll bonding

The texture of the Mg/Al laminated composite fabricated by accumulative roll bonding was measured by neutron diffraction. The texture type of the Mg layer was typical rolling texture and the dominant texture of the Al layer was β-fiber rolling texture with scatter around the ideal orientations. The significant waviness structure caused by the shear band reduced both the intensity and the sharpness of the rolling texture of both Mg and Al layers.
