Abstract: The texture evolvement of aluminum alloy 6111 and how the rolling schedule affects the texture during cold rolling were investigated by means of the orientation distribution function (ODF). The results showed that the texture of cold rolled sheet are mainly composed of copper, brass and S components. If the pass reduction and total reduction are both given in cold rolling process, the sheets have cube + ND45 orientation {001} <110> as the main texture component. But, if the rolling process goes on, the orientation intensity of cube + ND45 component decreased rapidly, whereas that of the normal deformation texture including, copper, brass and S components increase with the thinning sheet. In addition, the orientation intensities of the deformation components decrease with increasing percentage pass reduction under the condition that the total reduction remains unchanged.
