摘 要：In the present study,microstructure and texture of drawn copper wires with a large number of transverse grain boundaries have been characterized and their mechanical properties have been analyzed.The results show that the texture evolution is accelerated by transverse grain boundary and the saturation value 60%of volume fraction of <111> fiber texture component is reached rapidly with increasing strain.For the microstructure of drawn wires with a large number of transverse grain boundaries,the critical strain,where lamellar boundaries form,is less than that for wires with equiaxed grains or columnar grains(all grain boundaries parallel to axis direction).Since transverse grain boundary accelerates grain subdivision and dislocation density increases rapidly in drawn wires with a large number of transverse grain boundaries,there are a higher flow stress and a higher work hardening rate.
