Recrystallization of the rolled Cu-5% Al single crystal with the (110)[001] orientation.

A CuA15 single crystal with the initial orientation of (110)[001] was rolled with 80% reduction in thickness and subsequently recrystallized. First recrystallized grains appeared in the sample annealed at 335 degrees centigrade while the sample annealed at 385 degrees centigrade was fully recrystalized. The recrystallization texture showed following components: {112}<238>, {135}<479> and {125}<259>. Only the strongest component {112}<238> could be produced according to the oriented growth theory.
