CM-2A molybdenum alloy sheet rolling crystallographic texture evolution prediction using modelling

Modeling of the crystallographic texture in the CM-2A molybdenum alloy was performed for various rolling schemes. Based on experimental data, the ratio of the critical shear stresses in the $\{110\}\langle111\rangle$ and $\{112\}\langle111\rangle$ slip systems was determined $\tau_{(110)}/\tau_{(112)} = 1.1-1.2$ at which the difference between the experimental and calculated grain orientation distribution functions is minimal. It is shown that the type of active slip systems changes during unidirectional rolling, while one slip-system type predominates during cross rolling.
