Not only the deformed metal of 5052 aluminum plate products has a preferred orientation, but also after annealing, due to a certain orientation relationship between nucleation and growth, a preferred orientation, that is, an annealing texture, generally appears. Annealing texture includes recovery texture, recrystallization texture and secondary recrystallization texture.

In practice it has been found that metals with deformed texture have three possibilities for texture change when annealed:

(1) Consistent with the deformation texture of 5052 aluminum plate products. This situation includes the recovery texture and part of the recrystallized texture;

(2) The annealed texture is completely or partially different from the deformed texture. This is the case where the recrystallized texture and the secondary recrystallized texture Z are common. For example, the copper-type deformation texture {112}111+{110}<112 in aluminum alloys with a face-centered cubic lattice and aluminum alloy transforms into a recrystallized cubic texture {100}<001>.

(3) After annealing, the grains are randomly oriented, that is, the deformation texture disappears, and the annealing texture does not occur, which is rare.
