Abstract


In this work the distribution of disorientation angles corresponding to a replied AZ31 Mg alloy has been measured and compared with several disorientation distributions calculated for an aggregate of hexagonal crystals using a Monte Carlo simulation method (random sampling). Simulated distributions correspond specifically to: (a) a random aggregate, (b) an aggregate with a perfect basal fiber texture, (c) with a perfect prismatic fiber texture and (d) a polycrystal where neighbour grains is allowed to be disoriented randomly with a condition that the angle between the c-axis be lower than 30º.
