texturecoarsegrained
Texturecoarsegrained is a term used in materials science to describe a polycrystalline material that combines a coarse grain structure with a textured or preferred crystallographic orientation. In this context, “coarse” refers to relatively large average grain sizes, while “texture” indicates a non-random distribution of grain orientations. The combination means the material exhibits both large grains and anisotropic properties arising from the orientation distribution.
Coarse grains arise when grain growth occurs during high-temperature exposure or slow cooling, or when recrystallization
Properties and implications: coarse grains reduce the number of grain boundaries, which can lower yield strength
Characterization: texturecoarsegrained materials are typically analyzed with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to map grain orientations, X-ray
Applications and considerations: controlling grain size and texture is a common strategy to tailor performance for
