Abstract
Texture studies of silver have been motivated by its potential use for substrates of high temperature superconductors. The {110}〈110〉 texture is known to be the most desirable. In this study, a 99·9% silver sheet was rolled by 31–96% reductions in thickness and annealed. The textures of the rolled and annealed silver samples consisted of many components including the {110}〈110〉 and {110}〈112〉 components. The evolution of the rolling and annealing textures has been discussed based on crystal plasticity, recrystallisation and growth.
