The cube texture is considerably developed in the 3004 alloy sheets hot rolled, partially annealed up to about 50%, rolled about 10% in reduction, and annealed. The orientation in the annealed sheets having sharp cube texture changes by lattice rotation during final cold rolling. The sheets rolled by 85% in reduction have a rolling texture composed both of the Cu-type rolling texture and (0kl) [100] orientation. The (0kl) [100] orientation is developed by lattice rotation of cube orientationa round the <100> axis parallel to the rolling direction. The sharper are the cube texture before final cold rolling, the more reduced is the 45° earing in cups of super hard sheets, because the components of (0kl) [100] orientation contribute to forming 0°-90° earing and reducing 45° earing.
