Copper single crystals of the (348)[11¯,4¯,6] orientation were cold–rolled
up to 99% under two series of L/d condition. The fornmtion of
nucleation sites of (001)[100] orientation and the development of cube
texture as well as their correlation were investigated. The slip-rotation
from a stable orientation towards (001)[100] was discussed in terms of
deformtion inhomogeneity.
