0. 4 mm (84% )

0. 3 mm (88% ) and 0. 2 mm (92% ) sheet- primary recrystallization-annealing at 830 °C for 5 min. The analysis on texture of priniary recrystallization-annealed specimen has been carried out by X-ray diffractometry (XRD). Results show that after primary recrystallization-annealing

the GOSS texture forms mainly at subsurface and there are some GOSS texture al 1/4 layer of sheet with reduction ratio 76% ; with increasing reduction the intensity of {112} < 110 > and {001}< 110 > orientation of a fiber texture gradually weaken

while the intensity of {111} < 112 > and {111}< 110 > orientation of γ fiber texture orientation first increase and then weaken ； with reduction ratio 88% the γ fiber texture strongly concentrates to {111} < 112 > orientation

the intensity of that reaches to max

it is favourable to form GOSS texture.
