Reinforcement of the Cube texture during recrystallization of a 1050 aluminum alloy partially recrystallized and 10% cold-rolled

► EBSD in-situ heating experiments of aluminum alloy of commercial purity. ► A 10% cold-rolling after a partial recrystallization improved Cube nucleation and growth. ► Annealing before cold-rolling limited the solute drag effect and permitted a large Cube growth. ► Cube development is enhanced by continuous recrystallization of Cube sub-grains. ► The preferential Cube growth occurs by SIBM of small Cube grains.
