Abstract

Recrystallization and grain growth of a cold-rolled gold sheet with 98 pct reduction in area (RA) were investigated with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Gold with some dopants (Be, Ca, and La) was used in this research and its recrystallization temperature was 320 °C. Isothermal annealing experiments at 400 °C, 500 °C, and 600 °C were carried out for the cold-rolled gold sheet, and recrystallization texture was examined. In the cold-rolled gold sheet, α- and β-fibers were measured mainly and some shear texture components were found on the surface. Shear texture components remained on the surface for 2 hours at 400 °C and were consumed by other recrystallized grains after 24 hours at 400 °C. Microstructure and texture evolution during in-situ annealing at 400 °C were investigated from the cold-rolled state to the fully recrystallized state using EBSD. Most of the newly, recrystallized grains came from the deformed β-fiber regions and consisted of β-fiber, cube, and other random orientations.
