On the texture evolution of aluminum-based composites manufactured by ARB process: a review

Texture development in materials processed by the accumulative roll bonding (ARB) is vastly investigated using a variety of experimental methods in recent years. Thus, a summary of the most recent studies is reviewed and is the subject of this paper. There are important variables affecting the texture during the rolling process including alloying element, multilayered, adding particles, the direction of rolling (strain paths), and recrystallization. For each one of the mentioned factors, the main results were simply summarized and then compared with each other using statistical evaluations. The focus of the present study, therefore, is to escalate our understanding of the mechanisms involved in determining the texture of Al-based materials produced by the ARB process.
