Abstract
Preferred orientation of $\varepsilon$ martensite induced by cold rolling is studied in an Fe-27Mn-3.5Si alloy. Since the flat rolling is essentially a plane strain condition, cold rolling is applied to induced the martensite. The alloy consists of stacking faults and thermal $\varepsilon$ martensite with some variants in $\gamma$ matrix. By cold rolling, $\varepsilon$ martensite plates are preferably induced with a single variant, producing a preferred orientation. Rolling-induced $\varepsilon$ martensite is observed to possess a preferred orientation of (1013) $\varepsilon$ [3032] $\varepsilon$. It is revealed that the [3032] $\varepsilon$ and normal direction of (1013) $\varepsilon$ experience the largest contraction and expansion, respectively, in $\gamma\to\varepsilon$ shear deformation when c/a is almost (8/3) 1/2.
