Abstract
Due to progressive deformation, the dislocation densities in crystals are accumulated and the resistance of grains to further deformation increases. Homogeneous deformation becomes energetically less favorable, which may result for some orientations in strain localization. In-grain shear banding, a typical kind of localized deformation in metals with BCC crystal structure, has been accounted for by the geometric softening of crystals. In this study, the occurrence of shear bands in rotated Goss ({110}<110>) orientations of Fe-Si steel is predicted by crystal plasticity simulations and validated by EBSD measurements. It was observed and confirmed by crystal plasticity modeling that such shear bands exhibit stable cube orientations The orientation evolution of crystals in shear bands and its impact on annealing texture of materials are also described.
