Purpose. Providing deformation conditions in order to obtain the required texture of pipes made of Ti-3Al-2.5V alloy based on the choice of rational values of the tool calibration parameters gauges and mandrels during cold pilger rolling of pipes for the required Q-factor distribution along the deformation cone. Methodology. The research methods were based on the existing dependence, which describes the influence of the distribution of the ratio of true reduction along the deformation cone along the wall thickness and along the average diameter, on the distribution of the Q-factor value. The calculation of calibration and all deformation parameters of the Cold Reducing tube process was based on a number of existing theoretical and empirical dependencies included in the generally accepted and adapted methods of their computation. To perform calculations, we created the software product Q-Factor. Cold pilger tube rolling. Findings. The influence of the initial taper of the mandrel with a curvilinear generatrix and the sweep of the groove ridge, the degrees of steepness of the generatrix of the mandrel and the sweep of the groove ridge, the value of the feed on the distribution of the Q-factor along the compression zones and pre-finishing of the deformation cone were investigated by calculation. The use of slope degrees n, equal to 1.5, i.e. less than values of crest slope degree had the most significant effect on obtaining the Q-factor close to equilibrium distribution along the length of wall reduction and pre-finishing zones. A method of multifactor calibration of the tool for cold pilger rolling of pipes is proposed, which makes it possible to select rational values of the initial taper of the mandrel with a curved generatrix, the degree of slope of the sweep of the groove ridge and the mandrel, and to create conditions in the wall compression zone for obtaining the required type of metal texture of cold-rolled pipes made of titanium alloy Ti-3-2.5V. At the same time, in the prefabrication zone, in all investigated cases, there is a drop in the Q-factor values below one. Originality. New knowledge was obtained about the influence of the rolling route and the full complex of tool calibration parameters in the process of cold pilger rolling of pipes on the distribution of the Q-factor along the length of the deformation cone. Practical value. A method for determining the modes of deformation with an extended compression zone and without a pre-finishing zone is proposed and tested with positive results. This method provides a distribution of the Q-factor along the reduction zone of the deformation cone which is close to uniform distribution and with values above one. The results obtained make it possible to select the conditions for obtaining the required type of metal texture of cold-rolled pipes from titanium alloy Ti-3Al-2.5V using the software product Q-Factor. Cold pilger tube rolling.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to reveal the tribological performance of the textured rolling bearing. Design/methodology/approach In the present study, the oil film pressure distribution and load capacity analysis method are established, which integrate the micro-texture model and Hydrodynamic lubrication (HL) methods. The tribological performances of the textured rolling bearing under the various working condition, texture dimension and texture type are investigated systematically. Findings The results show that the oil film load capacity increases with the increase in the texture size. As the texture depth increases, the oil film load capacity increases first and then decreases, and then the load capacity is the largest at the texture depth range of 3 to 5 µm. In addition, the oil film load capacity of the matching pairs, such as Si4N3-Si4N3, GCr15- Si4N3 and GCr15-GCr15 are compared; the results show that the cases of using ceramic material can improve oil film load capacity of textured rolling bearing. Originality/value The current manuscript can be useful for supporting the reliability and life research of textured rolling bearing.

The texture of the pavement surface, in addition to the traffic safety, plays a major role in the driving comfort and performance of the vehicle. A dozen of methods have been introduced for determining the pavement texture and each of them has advantages and disadvantages. The usage of the image processing as one of the newest methods is expanding because of its significant advantages. In this study, by constructing a device for taking a picture with different light angles from the pavement surface and using a four lights photometric stereo method, the pavements with different texture have been investigated. Finally, for pavements with different texture type, the optimal angles of different light have been introduced for use in photometric stereo technique. The results show that the adverse relationship between the optimum zenith angle and the depth of texture of the pavement surface, such that by increasing the mean texture depth, using the less zenith angle will give better results.

Extrusion products with ideal microstructure and mechanical properties can be obtained by precise design of the mold cavity structure. In this study, two interim dies were taken as a sample to investigate the texture of typical locations of AZ31 magnesium alloy produced by continuous variable cross-section direct extrusion (CVCDE). The results show that grains were refined significantly after the material passed through the continuous variable mold cavity. Stronger extrusion fiber texture formed during the CVCDE process, and the texture type of the extrusion product transformed from {0001}〈10–10〉 deformation texture to a mixture of {0001}〈10-10〉 deformation texture and {0001}〈11–20〉 recrystallization texture. During the extrusion process, the c-axis of the majority of grains deflected under the action of external forces and tended to become parallel to the direction of the external forces. Therefore, the value of the Schmid factor, which represents the grain orientation, became smaller and the grains were in hard orientation, making further slip difficult.

The paper presents preliminary analyzes of the possibilities of using glass waste from extruded fluorescent lamps as aggregates for cement concretes. The research material was obtained from a company that utilizes electrical waste. Glass from pre-sorted lighting elements was transported to the laboratory and crushed in a steel mortar. In this way, the aggregate obtained was subjected to the basic tests that are carried out for aggregates traditionally used in construction. The specific density of aggregate, bulk density, absorbability, grain shape and texture type were examined. In the next stage of research work, a concrete mix was made, in which, as a substitute for 25% gravel aggregate, crushed aggregate from crushed fluorescent lamps was used. The compressive and tensile strength of the concrete thus formed was tested. Analysis of the test results showed that broken glass from worn out fluorescent lamps can potentially be used as an aggregate for cement concrete.

Employing a recent modeling scheme for grain boundary sliding [Zhao et al. Adv. Eng. Mater. 2017, doi:10.1002/adem.201700212], crystallographic textures were simulated for nanocrystalline fcc metals deformed in shear compression. It is shown that, as grain boundary sliding increases, the texture strength decreases while the signature of the texture type remains the same. Grain boundary sliding affects the texture components differently with respect to intensity and angular position. A comparison of a simulation and an experiment on a Pd–10 atom % Au alloy with a 15 nm grain size reveals that, at room temperature, the predominant deformation mode is grain boundary sliding contributing to strain by about 60%.

As a body of work, Ferneyhough's string quartets offer a panorama of his entire compositional career to date, including his first (unpublished) engagement with the genre in the early 1960s. This article examines his approach to the medium, drawing on sketch materials and charting the development of his style, his relationship to the quartet tradition and contextualising the quartet in relation to wider trends in his œuvre. Theoretical perspectives, including an evaluation of Ferneyhough's relationship to language, Adorno and Schoenberg, are also explored.

PURPOSES: There is a need to develop a method to incorporate tire-pavement noise in the pavement management system. Tire-pavement noise highly depends on the characteristics of pavement texture. Therefore, estimation of texture characteristics may give useful information to predict tire-pavement noise. This study aimed to find the relationship between tire-pavement noise and MPD(Mean Profile Depth) for concrete pavement. METHODS: MPD and tire-pavement noise were collected on the number of expressway sections including Central Inland Test Road in Korea. Statistical analysis was performed to find the correlationship between MPD and tire-pavement noise. In addition, multiple regression analysis to find the tire-pavement noise based on MPD and type of concrete pavement texture. RESULTS: Linear relationship between MPD and tire-pavement noise is observed for concrete pavement. Furthermore, a forensic equation to estimate tire-pavement noise based on MPD and texture types of concrete pavement is suggested. CONCLUSIONS: Tire-pavement noise on concrete pavement can be predicted based on the consideration of texture type and MPD estimation.

A 2-year initial study, recently completed in California, measured and compared tire–pavement noise levels with the onboard sound intensity method on existing concrete pavements. The study included 120 pavement subsections at 47 sites; most sections were measured twice in the 2 years. The surfaces encountered were classified into five texture categories: burlap drag, diamond ground, diamond grooved, longitudinally broomed, and longitudinally tined. The experiment was not balanced for age, traffic level, or climate region. The surfaces were further categorized as having new, aged, or worn-out texture. The differences within and between surface types were assessed for spectral content and overall sound intensity. The results revealed a large overlap in the onboard sound intensity levels between texture types. The quietest sections overall were measured on diamond ground surfaces. However, on the basis of the average noise level of the evaluated sections of each texture type, the longitudinally broomed surfaces as a group were the quietest, although they were represented by a small sample in the experiment. The study indicated that the sound intensity of concrete pavements in California ranged from about 99 to about 107 dB(A). The measured onboard sound intensity levels included the effects of joint slap, faulting, and sealant, if present, in addition to the texture.

The human visual system must employ mechanisms to minimize informational redundancy whilst maximizing dynamic range and maintaining that which is behaviorally relevant [1,2]. Previous research has concentrated on two-point correlation properties, as captured by spatial frequency and orientation tuning. There has been less research into higher-order correlations although they may inform us about cortical functioning [3]. Isotrigon textures can be used to probe the sensitivity of the human visual system. The obvious structure in isotrigons is exclusively due to 4th and higher-order spatial correlations [4]. Thus, in order to discriminate isotrigons from noise, it is necessary to identify higher-order structure. Although artificially generated, the same structural features that give isotrigons salience also create salience in natural images [2]. Factor analysis can be used to infer the number of underlying independent neurological mechanisms which govern isotrigon discrimination. In this study, mean performance functions were calculated for two subjects using ten new isotrigons (VnL2) (Figure ​(Figure1A).1A). Two forms of factor analysis identified 3 principal factors (Figure ​(Figure1B)1B) [5]. Previous studies support that the number of mechanisms is less than 10 [6], and more likely 2-4 [7,8]. Such mechanisms may represent some combination of recursive or rectifying processes. Simple models of cortical processing, based on recursion, can discriminate isotrigons [9]. The formation of recursively applied products is physiologically plausible and can occur via dendritic back-propagation or dendritic spiking [10]. Figure 1 A: Mean performance functions for all subjects by texture type, presented separately according to subject and texture size. For All16 (16x16 textures) and All32 (32x32) error bars are SE for n = 6 subjects. Glider shapes are shown in the bottom panel. ...

Plastic shading nets are being used extensively in hot and sunny regions to protect plants from intense solar radiation. Different varieties of these nets are commercially available. However, the choice of net to fulfill specific shading requirements often depends on empirical or economic criteria and not on scientific considerations because essential information used to characterize the different types of nets is not available. In order to replace expensive measuring facilities that use artificial lighting to investigate the radiative properties of plastic shading nets, a simple method was presented to investigate these properties under global, diffuse and direct beam solar radiation conditions. Measurements were performed on clear sunny days, (December 28, 2008–February 10, 2009). Nets with colors and shading factors that are most commonly used in hot regions were selected for the study. The results showed that the behaviors of the plastic nets under solar radiation conditions were similar to those of translucent materials. Accordingly, it is possible to (i) treat plastic nets as translucent materials and (ii) investigate the equivalent optical constants (i.e., refractive indexes and extinction coefficients) for plastic nets as functions of the net solidity, texture type and color. Solidity and color of the net had significant effects on the radiative properties and the effect of color was much more than the effect of solidity. The shading factor of a plastic net, is a function of the daytime, depends on several design and meteorological parameters, so it cannot be used to describe a net. However, the net solidity together with color, and the daily integrals of the shading factor and of the radiative properties are appropriate parameters for describing a net.

Ni electrodeposition was galvanostatically conducted over the current density range of 1-5000 A/m2 in unagitated sulfamate and Watt's solutions containing polyethylene glycol (PEG) or saccharin at 323 and 313 K, respectively, to examine the effect of the content of C and S in deposits and texture on the hardness of the deposited Ni. The content of C in Ni deposited from Watt's solutions containing PEG was significantly larger than that from the sulfamate solutions. There was little difference in S content in deposits between sulfamate and Watt's solutions containing saccharin except for 2000 A/m2. The hardness of deposited Ni increased with C and S content in deposits, and the degree of increase in hardness decreased at S contents above 0.02 mass%. The texture of deposited Ni changed from the field-oriented texture type to the unoriented dispersed type when C and S were codeposited with Ni by addition of PEG and saccharin. The hardness of unoriented dispersed type of Ni was larger than that of the field-oriented texture type.

The evolution of the microstructures and textures of 7050 Al alloy hot-rolled plates were studied during a series of staged solution heat-treatments (S-SHT). The results show that the texture type in the specimens after various S-SHT processes is similar to that of the as hot-rolled for solution temperatures up to 490 °C. The grain orientations are assembled to typical β-fiber and α-fiber, together with some {0 0 1} 〈1 0 0〉 texture. The orientation densities of {1 2 4} 〈2 1 1〉 and {1 1 2} 〈1 1 1〉 textures in the S-SHT specimens are higher than that of the as hot-rolled; however, they decrease with increasing solution temperature because of recovery and continuous recrystallization. At 475 °C, the specimens contain Al 2 CuMg and Al 7 Cu 2 Fe particles, but only Al 7 Cu 2 Fe particles exist at 490 °C. The S-SHT described in this paper improves the mechanical properties of 7050 Al alloy plate, in particular, the elongation to failure, which increases from 8.8% to 14.2%.

In this paper, the perceptual and instrumental effects of texture on colour is investigated, using 63 textile samples, in nine colour centres and seven texture structures. The effectiveness of texture is evaluated by assessing colour differences between six texture samples and a standard texture in each colour group. Experimental results show that the sample texture has a significant effect on the measured and perceived colour and its influence depends on the colour centre of the sample. The magnitude of texture effect is more dependent on the texture type than on its coarseness. A new term to evaluate texture difference of a pair of textile samples was defined using a Gabor filter (Gabor texture difference). The visual colour changes gave a good correlation with Gabor texture difference values; however, the colour of the samples affected this correlation. So the colour change, as a result of texture differences, depends on two independent variables consisting of the Gabor texture difference and the colour centre of samples.

Dynamic occlusion (i.e., accretion and deletion of optical texture at the occluding edge) can occur under many different environmental conditions, for example, objects hidden behind other objects when viewed by a moving observer, objects moving in front of other objects, or an observer approaching a brink. Because each of these conditions may require the actor to respond differently, the actor may need to be able to differentiate these situations reliably. This study was directed at the optical pattern induced by dynamic occlusion that occurs when one locomotes over a rolling terrain (i.e., a corrugated surface). Two experiments were conducted for this purpose. Participants viewed displays simulating their translation along a corrugated surface in which surface corrugation, texture type, and texture density varied as part of experimental control. Results demonstrated that the visual system reliably extracts the global flow pattern for accurate perception of heading direction despite the presence of optica...

The texture evolution in a high strength Ti-IF steel during the processing of hot rolling, cold rolling, and annealing is studied. For comparison, both ferrite rolling and austenite rolling are employed. It is found that the texture type is the same after ferrite rolling and austenite rolling, but the texture intensity is much higher in the ferrite rolled sample. Furthermore, texture characteristics at the surface are absolutely different from those at the mid-section in both ferrite rolled and austenite rolled samples, as well as under the cold rolled and annealed conditions. The shear texture {110} disappears and orientation rotates along {110} →{554} →{111} →{111} →{223} during cold rolling. Compared to the austenite rolled sample, the properties of the cold rolled and annealed sheet which is subjected to ferrite rolling are higher.

We extend the application of the random neural network to texture classification and retrieval. A neuron in the network corresponds to an image pixel and the neurons are connected according to neighboring relationship between pixels. A texture is represented with the weights of the network and the random neural network is used as an associative memory. In order to assess the performance of the method, texture mosaic images are generated from the popular Brodatz album. We also present a real life application in which a specified texture type is retrieved within a large remote sensing image. Results show that error is comparable to that of previous studies on texture classification which make use of other approaches.

The specific microstructural features of the nanocrystalline nickel obtained by the method of electrodeposition (ED) and then subjected to severe plastic deformation by torsion (HPT) were studied for the first time. For comparison, the specific structural features of the samples obtained by conventional HPT of an initially coarse-grained material are presented. The treatment of nanocrystalline nickel by HPT was established to retain a nanometer average grain size (30–40 nm), substantially (by a factor of 2–3) decrease internal stresses, and lead to the formation of a fundamentally new crystallographic texture type differing from the previously revealed type of the shear textures characteristic of the HPT samples prepared from coarse-grained samples.

A pile-yarn-manipulating mechanism for carpet weaving was designed and implemented. The pile-yarn-manipulating mechanism served to prepare the coloured pile yarn for a knotting mechanism according to a carpet pattern used as input. Such a mechanism required two auxiliary mechanisms (a holding mechanism and a cutting mechanism) to perform its function. A model for the pile yarn manipulating mechanism is presented herein. Important developments of weaving technology have been recorded. There are many carpet looms working at high speeds, but production methods of handmade carpets have not changed for several hundred years. The main difference between handmade and machine carpets is their texture type. The pile surface of machine carpets is produced by Jacquard's mechanism, but it is produced independently in handmade carpets by the weaver. There are basically two kinds of knot, namely the Turkish knot and the Persian knot.

In order to calculate an ODF from a set of individual orientation measurements, it is very useful at first to characterise the texture type. By using model functions it is shown that the texture index plays a particular role. Moreover it has been found that the texture index varies linearly with the inverse of the number N of measurements. The ODF can then be calculated with the constraint to reach a particular texture index. Various examples are presented.

Global crystallographic textures belong to the main characteristic parameters of engineering materials. The global crystallographic texture is always the average texture of a well-defined sample volume which is representative to solve practical engineering problems. Thus a beam having a high penetration power is needed available as neutron or high energetic X-ray radiation. Texture type and texture sharpness are of great importance for materials properties such as the deep drawing behaviour, one of the basic techniques in many industries. Advantages and disadvantages of both radiations make them complementary for measuring crystallographic textures in a wide range of materials.

This study investigated the effects of three system related cues on estimates of near distances. Subjects (N=28) viewed a simple VE and used a magnitude estimation procedure to generate distance estimates to a wall at the end of a corridor 1 to 12 feet away. Independent variables included type of wall texture (2 levels), resolution of wall texture (3 levels), display FOV (2 levels), and distance (12 levels). Dependent variables included distance estimates, response latency, and relative error of estimates. Subjects consistently underestimated distances judged using a wide FOV and overestimated distances judged with a narrow FOV. Distance estimates were significantly affected by both FOV and texture type. Significant interactions of distance with FOV, texture type, and texture resolution revealed that these variables had greater effects at the closer distances. The most accurate estimates occurred with a wide FOV and a rich, fine resolution pattern.

We demonstrate methods for estimating shape from texture, for textures which are neither isotropic nor homogeneous. Whereas earlier work assumed either isotropy or homogeneity, we make a more general assumption: the local tangent distribution of the surface texture is invariant with respect to position. We then present a taxonomy of texture types, and a set of methods that can be used to recover surface orientation for each texture type. We define two classes of methods for estimating shape from texture: invariance-seeking methods, and value-seeking methods. These definitions are used to account for the performance of new methods on different classes of texture. The approach outlined in this paper provides a general strategy for generating methods for obtaining shape from texture for known classes of texture.

A complete set of f.c.c. rolling texture predictions, obtained with the use of a relaxed constraint model, is presented in this paper. The whole spectrum of textures between the copper and brass types can be found if some components of reaction stresses (between grains and the matrix) are relaxed. The best prediction of the copper type texture is found if ϵ13 is a free parameter and the other components of grain deformation tensor are controlled by reaction stresses. The best prediction of the brass type texture is obtained if ϵ12, ϵ13 and ϵ23 are free parameters. However, a decisive factor for the texture transition from the copper to the brass type is the relaxation of the ϵ12 component. We present for all the considered cases the orientation distribution functions (O.D.F.) and also the pole figures for some selected cases. Nous presentons pour tous les cas les fonctions de distribution d'orientations cristallines ainsi que dans certains cas — les figures de pǒles. Nous presentons un ensemble des previsions des textures c.f.c. de laminage obtenues par le modele avec une relaxation partielle des contraintes de reaction. Une gamme de textures contenues entre celles type cuivre et type laiton peut ětre trouvee si certaines composantes des contraintes de reaction (quiagissent entre les grains et la matrice) sont relaxees. La meilleure prevision de la texture type cuivre est obtenue si ϵ13 est laisse libre et les autres composantes du tenseur de deformation d'un grain sont controllees (par les contraintes de reaction). D'autre part le meilleure prevision de la texture type laiton est trouve si les composantes ϵ12, ϵ13 et ϵ23 sont libres. Neanmoins, un facteur decisif pour la transition de la texture entre celle type cuivre et type laiton est une relaxation de la composante ϵ12.

This report presents a recommended process for determining the type of concrete pavement texture that should be used for a specific highway project. The process considers the effects of texture type on friction and noise characteristics. The report will guide pavement and construction engineers in identifying and specifying textures for concrete pavements that will provide adequate surface characteristics. The information contained in the report will be of immediate interest to state engineers and others concerned with concrete pavement design and construction.

Heat treatment of CuO powder samples has an influence on their cathodic discharge curves in lithium cells. A correlation of the electrochemical properties of CuO with the broadening and shifts of the X-ray diffraction lines was found, related with nonstoichiometry of the CuO crystallites. The defects of the crystal structure of a mosaic texture type are responsible for the increased electrochemical activity.

We explore the phenomena of flavor violation, using combinations of Yukawa matrices in order to reproduce a hermitian mass matrix. We work within the Two-Higgs doublet model with a specific four-zero texture type (2HDM-Tx). Current experimental bounds from are used in order to restrict the values for the parameters model: We predict the rates for the Flavor Violating decays (h → τμ) and t → c + h, which reach Branching ratios that could be tested at the LHC.

In this chapter we introduce a particular measure of similarity between two textures and use it for a query-by-image retrieval of image textures. The measure is deduced from the Gibbs models of Eqs. (2.3) and (2.10) and is based on the model parameters that are learnt as described in Chapters 3 and 4. Most of these results were initially presented in (Jain and Gimel’farb, 1995; Gimel’farb and Jain, 1996).

In this paper we demonstrate that a genetic algorithm can be used to produce collections of pixel locations termed foot patterns useful for distinguishing between different types of binary texture images. The genetic algorithm minimizes the entropy of empirical samples taken with a particular foot pattern on a training image. The resulting low entropy foot patterns for several texture types are then used to classify test images. In order to classify a given image, foot patterns for several texture types are applied to the image to obtain entropy scores. The lowest entropy foot patterns are then used in a vote with the majority among the ten lowest scoring being taken as the classification. On the original test set of sixty images, twelve each from five image types, the resulting classification was 98.3% accurate (one image was not classified). When a sixth texture type, picked specifically to confound the classification technique, was added to texture types in the original test the technique misclassified several images of the two similar types. This latter experiment helps explain much of the how and why of the texture classification technique. We discuss potential methods for overcoming limitations of the texture classification technique.

In vision science the currently most popular models for depth perception are weak fusion models in which the final depth estimate results from a weighted average of the independent depth estimates obtained from each cue [2]. In these models a more reliable cue has a larger weight in the combined estimate. Furthermore, recent studies report that human observes combine depth cues as to obtain the minimal variance unbiased estimator of depth [1]. Different texture types can elicit different performance in a slant discrimination task [3]. In the present study we ask whether the reliability-sensitive weighting is observed in slant discrimination based on texture and haptic cues, when interchanging the texture type on the stimuli (see figure below). In the first experiment, with texture and haptic cues depicting slant consistently, we tested a minimal variance unbiased estimator of slant. That is, whether performance for the haptic and texture cues combined followed

The effects of terrain texture type and the height and density of 3D objects on heading control were studied in two experiments conducted in a high-performance flight simulator. The results suggest an orthogonal-extension principle which relates performance to the number and length of contours that are perpendicular to the ground plane, and also begin to define the stimulus conditions for which the principle is valid.

The rotation rate fields of a f.c.c. polycrystal deformed by rolling have been predicted by the self-consistent model for different values of the plastic accomodation parameter. The isotropic as well as anisotropic hardening of slip systems have been taken into account. The obtained rotation rate fields have been applied next to the continuity equation of texture evolution. All the results may be classified into two groups: a copper type texture and a transition texture (probably towards the brass type one). Le champ de vitesses de rotation a ete calcule a partir du modele self-consistent, decrivant le comportement plastique du polycristal, pour differentes valeurs du parametre d'accomodation elasto-plastique. On a envisage I'ecrouissage isotrope et anisotrope pour le monocristal. Les champs de vitesses de rotation ont ete utilises ensuite dans I'equation de continuite de I'evolution des textures. Tous les resultats peuvent ětre classes en deux groupes: la texture type cuivre et une texture transitoire (probablement proche de la texture type laiton).

Laboratory polishing is commonly used to evaluate aggregate skid resistance characteristics. For marginal to poor durability stones, field results may differ from those predicted from polishing tests, giving significantly higher or lower skid resistance. These differences can be related to the petrographic characteristics of the rocks. Three distinct textures have been identified which lead to predictable variations between field and laboratory polishing. For one texture type, the field skid resistance is much lower than laboratory results indicate. As this texture is found in many skid resistance aggregates, the effect is considered important, particularly in evaluating new deposits.

1. Processes of texture formation were studied in three NiFe system alloys containing Mo and Ti (alloy No. 1), Cr, Ti and Al (alloy No. 2) and Co, Ti and Al (alloy No. 3). The deformation texture is identical in all alloys which agrees with the proximity of stacking fault energies as estimated from X-ray data. 2. Annealing leads to a pronounced diffusion and alteration of the texture in alloy No. 1, but does not alter the texture type and intensity in alloy No. 2, whereas in alloy No. 3 the typical strain texture components are intensified. 3. Structure processes governing texture formation were identified as recrystallization in alloy No. 1, and oriented γ–γ′ transformation in alloys No. 2 and 3 where the intergranular boundaries were blocked by heterogenous precipitation of phases not possessing fcc structure.
