4. Conclusions
- (1)
- The average grain size decreased from 281.29 to 112.66 μm with the increased content of P, accompanied by a large fraction of LAGBs after the intermediate annealing process. The addition of P could effectively refine grain size and change the microstructure of the oxygen-free copper.
- (2)
- During the intermediate annealing process, some {112}<111> copper texture, {123}<634> S texture and a sharp recrystallization {001}<100> cubic texture formed in the pure Cu specimen. With the P content increased, the recrystallization cubic texture almost vanished, and distinct {110}<001> Goss texture and {110}<112> brass textures were found.
- (3)
- After the final cold rolling process, the grains were refined with the addition of P. The pure metal-type texture consisted of copper type, S and brass type gradually evolved to the α-fiber texture which includes brass and Goss texture with the increase in P. Moreover, accompanied by the evolution of the deformation texture, the recrystallization cubic texture was suppressed and a strong {236}<385> brass recrystallization texture emerged. Due to the reduction of SFE with the addition of P, it could effectively not only refine the grain size but also change the texture evolution of the specimens.
