EBSD study on crystallographic texture and microstructure development of cold-rolled FePd alloy

• The evolution of texture and microstructure in FePd alloy was investigated after cold rolling using EBSD.
• Increasing in reduction leads to the change of texture from Copper-type to Brass-type.
• The reduction of Copper orientation results in increasing in Goss and Brass orientations.

The crystallographic texture and microstructure of FePd alloy after cold-rolling deformation were investigated using electron backscatter diffraction. The major orientations of twin copper and copper after 50% thickness reduction were observed in face-centered cubic-disordered FePd alloy, whereas the main orientation was obtained from brass type after 90% cold rolling. Increase in cold rolling resulted in the change of preferred orientation from copper to brass. Decrease in orientation intensity of copper also increased that of Goss and brass.
