The textures of direct chill (DC) cast aluminum alloys during thermomechanical processing have been intensively studied.[1–6] In general, the typical deformation texture is featured by the fiber that extends from the Copper orientation {112} 111 through the S orientation {123} 634 to the Brass orientation {011} 211. During further annealing, the Cube texture {001} 100 develops and becomes the major recrystallization texture component. However, the recrystallization behavior of continuous cast (CC) aluminum alloys is quite different from that of DC alloys,[7–10] which leads to significant differences in plastic anisotropy.[11] It is, therefore, of interest to study the recrystallization textures of CC alloys during annealing. The present study aims to investigate the recrystallization textures of CC AA 3015 alloy during annealing. Specifically, the effects of cold rolling reduction and annealing temperature on the evolution of the recrystallization texture are presented. This work indicates that the P orientation {011} 566 is the dominant recrystallization texture component and that it is accompanied by the R-CubeND orientation {001} 130 in CC AA 3015 alloy.Commercially produced hot bands of CC AA 3105 alloy (Al-0.5 wt pct Mn-0.5 wt pct Mg-0.4 wt pct Si-0.7 wt pct Fe) were used. The as-received hot bands were directly cold rolled to 70, 80, and 90 pct thickness reductions. Cold-rolled samples were than annealed at either 350 C, 450 C, or 550 C for 30 minutes followed by water quenching. Samples for microstructure examination were cut on planes normal to the normal direction (ND) and to the rolling direction (RD). The microstructure of anodized samples was examined using polarized light optical microscopy. Macrotextures of the rolling plane normal to the RD and the transverse direction (TD) were measured at halfthickness position by means of the Schulz reflection method [12] on a D/MAX X-ray goniometer using Cu K radiation. Three incomplete pole figures {111},{200}, and {220} were measured and were corrected for defocusing error and background intensity. Three-dimensional orientation distribution functions (ODFs) were calculated using the arbitrarily defined cell (ADC) method [13] from the corrected incomplete pole figures. Microtextures of the longitudinal plane normal to the ND and RD, presented in the form of inverse pole figure (IPF) orientation maps and ODFs, were obtained using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with orientation image microscopy (OIM). The SEM was operated at 20 kV. The surfaces for microtexture measurements had been mechanically polished followed by electropolish-
