Abstract
This paper presents details on the evolution of texture in Alloy 80A during the initial ingot break-down process by means of repeated hot-working (cogging). The ingot was produced by vacuum arc re-melting showing equiaxed and columnar grains. Compression tests were performed with a Gleeble system covering the range of temperatures, strains, and strain rates experienced during processing on an industrial scale. Texture analysis (neutron and electron backscatter diffraction) was applied to all specimens before and after hot deformation to reflect the thermo-mechanical history. The ingot exhibited a well pronounced <100>-fiber texture of the initial microstructure. Low deformation ratios did not change the type of texture, but the degree of the preferred orientation. High strains partially result in the destruction of the fiber texture and lead to the appearance of additional texture components, such as cube- and Goss-components. With continued deformation, recovery and recrystallization become predominant.
