Abstract:The evolution of ferritic texture in various layer of 2205 duplex stainless steel sheet are researched after hot rolled, cold rolled and annealed, and the effects of the textures on plastic strain ratio of the annealed sheet were studied. The results show that the strong {001} <110> texture near surface while concentrated (118)[16 -24 1] and (001)[-1-20] orientation in the center of the hot rolled sheet caused different textures appeared in the surface and center after subsequent cold rolling and annealing processing. It leads to different the average plastic strain ratio in between the surface and center sheet. After annealed at 1100 ℃ for 90 s, (112)[1-10] and (110)[1-18]~(554)[-2-25] recrystallization textures formed from (001)[1-10], (001)[-1-10] and (110)[1-10] cold rolled textures respectively, which is in accordance with Σ9, Σ3 and Σ17b coincidence site lattice relationship. Such annealed textures made that r0 value was significantly lower than r45 and r90 value. Moreover, extremely few {001} <110> orientation was remained in center sheet after annealed, which resulted in a higher average plastic strain ratio in the center sheet.
