Preferred direction of drawn wire, a preview of coming attractions

Relevant Aspects of Copper and Copper Alloy Metallurgy
Roger N. Wright, in Wire Technology (Second Edition), 2016
13.3.2 Texture, Anisotropy, and Springback

Wire drawing deformation, however, creates preferred grain orientations, or texture. In this context, wire properties vary with direction, and, as the texture varies in orientation or in nonrandomness, the properties in the axial direction (along the wire length) vary. Strong drawing textures may be passed on through the anneal process, although the actual preferred orientation may change. Table 13.1 summarizes some preferred orientations for copper wire, as a function of process history. Good analyses on wire texture and anisotropy have been published by Aernoudt115 and by Van Houtte.116
